WBO Middleweight Champion, Janibek Alikhanuly, to Unify Titles with Vincenzo Gualitieri on October 14th in Rosenberg, TX. The highly-anticipated unification bout between WBO Middleweight Champion, Janibek Alikhanuly (14-0, 9 KOs), and the formidable Vincenzo Gualtieri (21-0-1, 7 KOs) is set to take place on October 14th. This marquee event will be held in Rosenberg, TX, and will serve as the headline match on a Top Rank on ESPN card that night.
The 30-year-old Alikhanuly has been on a remarkable trajectory since claiming the WBO's interim title last spring. With impressive victories over Denzel Bentley and a quick stoppage of Steven Butler, Alikhanuly has solidified his reputation as a rising star in the middleweight division. The upcoming bout presents an invaluable opportunity for him to elevate his profile on the national stage.
In a significant twist, Gualtieri, hailing from Germany, will step outside his home turf for the first time in his professional career. This venture onto American soil marks a pivotal moment in Gualtieri's career, as he aims to showcase his skills on a grander platform. Gualtieri's journey to this unification showdown was propelled by his unanimous decision victory over Esquiva Falcao, securing the vacant IBF world title this past July. With momentum on his side, he is primed for a historic challenge against Alikhanuly.
