Alimkhanuly challenges Eubank Jr. to a fight

Ahead of Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (14-0, 9 KOs) unification of two middleweight belts, but he is probably thinking more about a possible fight with Chris Eubank Jr. (33-3, 24 KOs) than about his next opponent.

The Kazakh is the WBO world champion, and after a successful rematch with Liam Smith, the aforementioned Eubank Jr. took first place in the World Boxing Organization rankings.

“Now that Eubank Jr. is number one in the rankings, I will be happy to meet him and knock him out in the first round. Even with your eyes closed. And he knows this well. But we need to meet in Las Vegas or Madison Square Garden in New York. I won’t go to England to see him, and why? In Kazakhstan, I would fill a stadium with 50 thousand seats. So only neutral territory, Las Vegas or New York,” Alimkhanuly wrote on social networks.

Let us remind you that on October 14, the WBO champion will meet with IBF middleweight champion Vincenzo Gualtieri (21-0-1, 7 KOs).

Now Chris Eubank is number one in the WBO ranking.

I'll knock him out in the first round with my eyes closed! He knows it. If he agrees to fight me, this fight will have to happen in Vegas!
