WBO middleweight champion (up to 72.6 kg) Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (12-0, 8 KOs) from Kazakhstan went too far in social networks in sorting out relations with his opponent Briton Denzel Bentley (17-1-1, 14 KOs): “I know, that your children and grandchildren will hate me for this, because you will be taken away from the ring in a wheelchair.
Later, the champion was explained that he was wrong – the tweet has already been deleted, instead Alimkhanuly wrote that “confidence and arrogance are not the same thing. I’m sure I’ll collect all the division titles.”
The fight will take place on November 12 in Las Vegas (USA).
The absolute champion of the super middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) Mexican Saul Canelo Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) showed his operated arm. Previously, the boxer claimed that he had several fights in a row with an injury – with Caleb Plant, Dmitry Bivol and Gennady Golovkin.
In the video, Canelo shows a gift from his daughter – a cute plush toy:

IBF champion in the minimum weight (up to 47.6 kg) Mexican Daniel Vaiyadares (26-3-1, 15 KOs) confirmed rumors that he would defend his belt against top Japanese contender-knockout Ginjiro Shigeoki (8-0, 6 KOs) ).
The champion did not announce the date of the fight, but said that the fight would take place on the territory of the opponent.
One of the most interesting fights of November has been thwarted: the top middleweight prospect (up to 72.6 kg) Cuban Yoelvis Gomez (6-0, 5 KOs) will not enter the ring on November 5 in Minneapolis (USA) against the former unified world champion Dominican Jason Rosario (23-3-1, 17 KOs) due to injury – injured his hand.
This fight was in our top 10 major November 2022 boxing fights: Bivol vs Ramirez, Cepeda vs Prograis and the unification we dreamed of.
Croatian slugger Alen Babić (11-0, 10 KOs) refused to fight the German Peter Kadiru (14-0, 7 KOs) for the European heavyweight title (over 90.7 kg). It will almost certainly be officially announced soon that he will try to take away the WBC belt in bridgerweight (up to 101.6 kg) from Colombian Oscar Rivas (28-1, 19 KOs).
A classy fight will take place on December 17 in Nantes (France): local welterweight prospect (up to 66.7 kg) Suleiman Sissoko (15-0, 9 KOs) will fight with ex-champion in (minor) IBO version Tulani Mbengue (19-1, 15 KOs) from South Africa.
At stake is the WBC Silver title.
The top contender for the first middleweight (up to 69.9 kg) Australian Tim Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) named the names of sparring partners who help him prepare for the fight (not yet officially announced, but tentatively scheduled for January 28) with the absolute champion of the division American Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs).
Very cool fighters help the applicant – Americans Charles Conwell (17-0, 13 KOs), Dimitrius Ballard (21-1-1, 13 KOs) and a 19-year-old amateur (winner golden gloves)
Quincy Williams.
Earlier, Tszyu told how he would beat Charlo. The answer will surprise you a little. The challenger has not yet beaten Jermell, but is already eyeing his brother Jermall and trolling champions: “I’m a lion hunter.”
