WBO Mandates Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Janibek Alimkhanuly Matchup

The WBO has officially resurrected the mandatory title clash between Hamzah Sheeraz and Janibek Alimkhanuly. This fight was previously discussed years ago when Alimkhanuly served as the division's middleweight kingpin.

After past negotiations hit a stalemate and were granted extensions, the sanctioning body has decided to force the issue once again. The super middleweight contest is now prioritized for the two contenders. Both teams are expected to begin discussions shortly to determine the terms of the meeting. This mandate brings a long-gestating matchup back into the immediate spotlight for boxing fans.
