Ukrainian boxer Dmitry Mitrofanov spoke out about a possible fight between IBF and WBO middleweight world champion Zhanibek Alimkhanuly with Hamza Shiraz.
"I expect a very interesting bout, definitely something to watch. Janibek has everything to beat Shiraz. For me it will be interesting to watch this fight also because I had a chance to box with Zhanibek in the amateurs. It was almost 10 years ago. In the summer of 2014 in the framework of the tournament of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Alma-Ata. And boxed in the finals of the competition weight category up to 75 kg. I lost then on points. Remained good memories of that time spent in Kazakhstan. What impressed Zhanibek? Technical boxer, with a very good sense of distance and a heavy punch. All this is even in the best indicators shows now as a professional. I don't like to give predictions, it's a thankless job. Let the strongest man win...", - said Mitrofanov.
