Resorts World, Las Vegas, USA. In the main fight of the evening, the vacant belt of the “interim” WBO middleweight champion (up to 72.6 kg) was played by unbeaten Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (12-0, 8 KOs) from Kazakhstan and Danny Dignam (14-1-1, 8 KOs) from Great Britain .
The fight began as expected: Alimkhanuly controlled the distance and pace, scored a knockdown in the opening round, although he pushed the opponent a little, but the referee turned a blind eye to this.

In the 2nd three-minute period, Dignam “turned on Bambi”: he slid and fell in the ring without the help of Alimkhanuly. The Kazakhstani saw that it was time to finish off and destroyed the opponent with a brutal uppercut, preparing a blow with two right hooks.
This is why Janibek is one of the most feared fighters in boxing. #JanibekDignum pic.twitter.com/SlbV4Y6GQP

Alimkhanuly KO 2.
Will there be a fight for a full-fledged title with Demetrius Endred or will the American turn on the back?
