The ring at Resorts World Las Vegas will host a bout to determine the interim WBO middleweight champion. This fight will headline the evening organized by Top Rank. According to the promoters, the upcoming clash is expected to be the most important of the Kazakh boxer's career.

His opponent from Essex has said that a lifelong dream is coming true — he will perform in Las Vegas as a headliner. Naturally, the Brit isn’t just there to participate — in a fight like this, only a win matters.

The official announcement of the matchup was made on April 26, and fans can watch Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Danny Dignum online. The 2013 amateur world champion has won all eleven of his pro fights, with seven of them coming by knockout. In November 2021, the native of Zhylandy (Almaty region) defeated France’s Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam in the eighth round.

Promoter Bob Arum believes that the Kazakh middleweight has what it takes to stay at the top of the sport for a long time, calling him one of the best athletes to emerge from Eastern Europe in recent years. ESPN’s Latin American division has predicted a knockout victory for Janibek. Initially, possible opponents included Demetrius Andrade (USA), Esquiva Falcão (Brazil), and Jaime Munguía (Mexico).

Earlier this year, Danny secured a mid-fight stoppage win over fellow Brit Grant Dennis. He now holds a record of 14 wins (8 by KO) and one draw. The Kazakh middleweight praised Dignum for accepting the challenge — something many top fighters have avoided.

Dignum admitted early on that he sees himself as the underdog, saying it’s the first time he’s had to make such a statement. The Essex fighter hopes his amateur experience will give him an edge in the upcoming showdown. Fans can watch Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Danny Dignum live online.
