Janibek Alimkhanuly (17-0, 12 KO) mapped his plans for this year, focused on uniform fights with medium weight champions Carlos Adames and Erisland Lara to achieve his goal, which is the undisputed master. Then in 2026 Janibek says that he will move up to challenge Canelo Alvarez to become the undisputed champion in Super Middle Wweight.

Obstacles in negotiations

If Janibek fails to fight Adames and Erisland this year, he should consider reducing losses and immediately go to 168 to put himself in able to fight Canelo. If Terenka Crawford gets four lanes in the Super Middle Wweight, he will never agree to fight Janibek because it is not popular enough.

Olympian Alimkhululy 2016 has no significant victories in its nine -year CV. Despite this, Janibek can earn more money in a medium supercer than in a dead, idle weight class 160 pounds. It would still be better to get up if he is unable to get a clash of union with Adames or Lara.

The IBF and WBO MIDDLE champion Alimkhanuly and WBC Champ Adames (24-1-1, 18 KO) are supposedly in negotiations. They were mentioned as potentially fighting on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios on July 19 on the PBC PPV card in Las Vegas. If the fight was made, Janibek vs. Adames would be a great addition to the party and can easily overshadow this clash.

Janibek’s promoters in the highest rank may have problems negotiating the fight with the WBA master Erislanda Lara (31-3.19 KO), because he did not participate in a risky battle from the moment his fight against Canelo Alvarez in 2014. At the age of 42, he may have a reluctance to take part in a secured impact, such as southern Plad Alimkhnelia.

Lara may feel that it is better to maintain her WBA title and continue defending titles at a low level against warriors, such as Danny Garcia, Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan and Michael Zefer. The Cuban opposition Southpaw Erislanda since the winner of the WBA 160-LB title in May 2021 was embarrassingly bad. The face of gold can be broken from this form with uncomplicated opposition to face the much younger and powerful Janibek in unification.

Narrow opposition

32 -year -old Janibek did not fight the great opposition either. In its four four fights there are these uncomplicated traces:

– Anauel by Missangue
– Andrei Michhailovich
– Vincenzo Gualtieri
– Steven Butler

This year I take off Carlos and get my third title. Then I will retire Lara. And in May next year I come from Canelo to become the undisputed champion of both divisions! Inshallah! pic.twitter.com/pajlzixsb

Billy Joe Saunders plans to start returning to a featherlight heavyweight in September after four years outside the ring. A former world champion with two Saunders divisions (30-1, 14 KO) claims that his goal is to become a world champion at the age of 175. This goal will be impossible for Billy Joe at his age. In August he will turn 36 and is not teenage or forceful enough to deal with featherlight heavyweight David Benavidez and David Morrell.

More about money?

You would like to think that Saunders’ return is older goals to achieve something great. However, Billy Joe just stink, sniffing the money, hoping that the Saudis will give him $ 10-20 million, like some of these other fighters. Chris Eubank Jr. And Conor Benn earned a fortune, but none of them never won the title of the world. They probably will never be. For Saunders for one of Mega-Mansions in Virginia Water In Surrey he would need great fights with Eubank Jr. and Dmitriry Bivol. Saunders may be almost impossible. It will probably fall apart like an senior car in his first fight against the opponent of tuning.

These two are examples of fighters making a fortune, although there is a lack of talent to win titles. Saunders must feel omitted, seeing these two rakes in cash; Hence the return. Billy Joe probably counts on a rematch with Eubank Jr. In PPV’s fight for huge money in Riyadh. It would be a fight at the business level and it has nothing to do with sport at all. Of course, he would not have a real lane on the line ;; It would not be close to a slight weighty weight.

“My biggest goal would be to become a world champion in three importance, but let’s just go back to the fight, and then see where we are,” said Billy Joe Saunders Ring magazine About his purpose to win the title of Master of Automotive in a featherlight heavyweight heavyweight in his return.

If Saunders believes that the Saudis will do it shower with money Shooting him straight to the top to challenge the winner of the rematch Dmitry Byvol vs. Artur Beterbiev 2, he jokes. They won’t do it or I hope not. It would be a bad appearance for this sport for Billy Joe, who would overcome the creamy draining and then received a crack at the winner of Bivol-Betiview 2.

Pain glove

Billy Joe must go David Morrell If he wants to have a chance to fight for gold. Fans would be nice to watch Saunders try to box Morrella so as not to be crushed by one of his powerful left hands. If Billy Joe wants to have a chance to earn a lot of money at the age of 175, he should run through this compact glove:

David Morrell
Jodan
Callum Smith
David Benavidez
Oleksandr Gvozdyk

Saunders was eliminated in the eighth round by Canelo Alvarez on May 8, 2021. In this defeat he suffered a broken eye nest and a cheekbone. Canelo used the custom of Billy Joe, leaning forward with his hands at his side. He fought his whole career so and was against her mainly against the flawless opposition, on which he built his 30-0 record.

When Saunders tried this against Canelo, the Mexican star nailed him with a great part in the eighth round and immediately began to celebrate when he saw his right eye.

Saunders reportedly created $ 8 million Since the fight against Canelo, who explains why he has not fought since then. He lived a high life. However, he made a mistake, holding away from the ring so long. If he would remain busy, he would probably be included in one of the Saudi cards against Eubank Jr. or Benni.

Emanuel Mavarrete today defends her super feather title WBO against her pretender No. 1, Charly Suarez, in the main event in San Diego. Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 KO) will make the fourth defense of your WBO 130-pound belt against Suarez (18-0, 10 KO) at the Arena.

Preview of main events: Navarrete vs. Suarez

Given the tender CV of Suarez, there was not much noise in today’s Navarrete fight. Fans do not know Suarez because he did not overcome any significant objection during his six -year professional career. He is not adolescent at the age of 36 to have such a sterile CV. On paper, Suarez is easily the weakest pretender, before which Navarrete defended his title since he captured him

Main card on ESPN and ESPN+ at 22:00 ET / 19 PM PT

Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez
Raymond Muratalla vs. Zaur Abdullaev
Youthful Santillan vs. Angel Beltran

Fans would prefer that Navarrete would defend himself against one of the talented and younger contenders, not DOI its title with another tender opponent. In the last fight, Navarrete fought for an unnecessary rematch against Oscar Valdez in December last year after closing him in a unilateral 12-round decision in 2023.

Co-main cooperation: Muratalla vs. Abdalaev

People seem to be the most interested in the fight of this card, the main support between the lithe pretender Raymond Muratalla (22-0, 17 KO) and Zaur Abdullaev (20-1, 12 KO). They will fight for the free IBF 135-punting title. Muratalla is preferred to win this clash, and then potentially raised to the full status of the lithe IBF master, if Vasily Lomachenko does not return from absence to defend against him.

It is understandable why 30-year-old Navarrete decided to maintain the title of WBO 130-LB instead of following other belts in the Super Feather Wweight. The ranking of pretenders by the World Boxing Organization is one of the weakest of four sanctioning bodies.

WBO rankings seem upside down, with beaten, cushioned pretenders at the top and talented, threatening evaluated below. This is an ideal situation for a faulty master, such as Navarrete, to keep his title longer than usual. WBO Raymond Ford took 7th place in position 7, and Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez assessed #9. These two are Navarrete’s greatest threats for his reign, but for some reason they are low in WBO.
