WBO and IBF middleweight titlist Zhanibek Alimkhanuly will not be defending his belts in opposition to Andrei Mikhailovich Saturday night, as deliberate. Top Rank has introduced that undefeated champion needed to be hospitalized on Thursday.
The trigger?
Dehydration.
Per Top Rank:
“WBO/IBF middleweight world champion Janibek Alimkhanuly was forced to withdraw from Saturday’s title defense against Andrei Mikhailovich at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas after being hospitalized Thursday evening due to dehydration.”
Tevin Farmer’s light-weight fight with Raymond Muratalla will now be the primary occasion of the ESPN+ broadcast card.
