Janibek Alimkhanuly revealed on social media today that he has a ‘big announcement’ that is coming soon for a ‘big fight’.
This is a similar post made by Janibek, IBF and the WBO mid-weight champion a week ago, and sounded mysterious about what many fans believe is a unification against WBC belt holder Carlos Adames.
Fans speculate on Carlos Adames
Alimkhanuly (17-0, 12 COs) repeatedly put Adames (24-1-1, 18 COs) under pressure on X and tried to fight him sometimes to fight. If he finally gets his way, it will be interesting to fans to see that these two 160-pound champions fight it in a three-belt one.
Fans hope that Alimkhanuly’s big news is a collision against Terence Crawford. But it is too early for Crawford to name his next opponent after upsetting the undisputed Super Mid -weight champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Crawford is believed to be waiting to see if the Mexican superstar will ask for a re -broadcast. That would be another massive payday for Terence. He is not going to get the kind of money fighting against Janibek.
Janibek’s recent opponents
- Anauuel with Missengue
- Andrei Mikhailovich
- Vincenzo Gualtieri
- Steven Butler
- Denzel Bentley
There is a big announcement soon, there will be a great battle 🤫

Buddy McGirt warns against Crawford
Janibek’s old coach, Buddy McGirt, does not believe that he should now fight Terence Crawford. He doesn’t think he’s ready. However, if the Olympic bronze medalist Alimkhanuly is not ready in 2016, he may never be. He is 32 years old and cannot afford to wait two to three years. By then, Crawford is likely to be retired because he is now 38.
“I don’t think Janibek should fight against Crawford at the moment,” Janibek’s former coach Buddy McGirt said Millcity Boxing. “Janibek is the best at 160 now. I don’t think he would beat Terence right now. It would be a big fight. If he trains him (alimkhanuly) and was with him, he’s not going to beat Terence. ‘
