Alimkhanuly-Dignum clash May 21

Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Danny Dignum is reportedly set for May 21 at a location in the United States. The bout will be for the WBO interim middleweight title and air on an ESPN platform. Alimkhanuly-Dignum was scheduled to go to a purse bid, but Top Rank (representing Alimkhanuly) and MTK Global (representing Dignum) reached an agreement first. Both Demetrius Andrade and Jaime Munguia passed on fighting Alimkhanuly before Dignum stepped up. Former WBO junior lightweight champion Jamal Herring will face TBA in the co-feature.

  • Alim just had a bday yesterday, right in his prime he’s 29. He’s going to run Dignum over, I think. I’m wondering if Andrade loses at 168, does he come back to 160 to fight Alimkhanuly?

    • No, and if Alimkhanuly decides to pursuit Andrade at 168, Andrade will move to light heavyweight and so on, until heavyweight.

      • Damn Burucho! Is he that afraid of Alimkhanuly? He’s gonna spend the rest of his career running from him! That’s messed up!

        • The best thing that can happen to Alimkhanuly is to get this interim title, because is a giant step to avoid being ignored by the Middleweight prima donas. I hope the same for Jaron Enis.

          • I don’t know about that Burucho. Andrade had the belt and no one would fight him.

  • Could somebody explain to me why this is for an interim title when Andrade is giving up the title to avoid fighting Janibek?
    Shouldn’t this be for the regular title?

    • Andrade isn’t officially vacating yet. After he fights his next fight at super middle he’ll either stay up there and wait for Canelo to officially vacate or he can drop back to middle and fight the winner of Alimkhanuly – Dignum…. Alimkhanuly.
