The head of the promotional company Top Rank, Bob Arum, enthusiastically reacted to the bright victory of Kazakhstani Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (12-0, 8 KOs) in the last match against Briton Danny Dignam (14-1-1, 8 KOs), which determined the “interim” world champion in WBO middleweight version (up to 72.6 kg).
Recall that Alimkhanuly knocked out Dignam in the second round.
Zhanibek is the next middleweight superstar. There is no doubt that he is the future of this division. What an incredible performance from a wonderful fighter and young man!” Arum praised the winner.
At the same time, Alimkhanuly himself challenged all middleweight champions, including compatriot Gennady Golovkin.
