DEADLY UPPERCUTS! Kazakhstan’s Knockout Artist — Janibek Alimkhanuly

Janibek Alimkhanuly might be one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing that casual fans barely know. Born in a small village in Kazakhstan, Janibek dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion before eventually turning professional and beginning his pursuit of another goal — becoming the undisputed middleweight champion. With devastating uppercuts, slick southpaw technique and the confidence of a fighter who calls his style “Qazaq Style,” Janibek quickly went from highly decorated amateur to one of the most avoided fighters in the middleweight division. Along the way, he dismantled contenders like Danny Dignum, Steven Butler and Vincenzo Gualtieri, before overcoming Andrei Mikhailovich in a heated rivalry. His rise eventually put him on course for a major unification fight with Erislandy Lara. But just as Janibek appeared ready to take the next step toward undisputed glory, his career was thrown into uncertainty following a positive test for meldonium and subsequent suspensions. Now entering the next chapter of his career, the question is simple: Can Janibek Alimkhanuly return and finally become the superstar many believed he was destined to be? This is the story of Kazakhstan’s latest boxing phenomenon.
