Demetrius Andrade vs. Janibek Alimkhanuly - WBO Ordered

[Bandog]

I think we all would agree that Andrade needs to vacate his belt at 160 if he's done fighting there.

true but its his only bargaining chip and I have the feeling he's trying to get a fight with Charlo , now that he's a free agent.

Thought he still had one fight with Matchroom.

Parker fight fell through though.. unless they’ve come to an agreement.

Who knows, probably they came to an agreement knowing that Andrade cost them more money than he generates. Also its nice to think that Andrade may want to go on PBC to get Charlo or Benavidez.

This is so stupid. It was ordered before, and already turned down. Andrade fights at 168.

Demetrius Andrade has never engaged in a fight at 168lbs.

And he withdrew from the only 168lbs bout his team orchestrated as a weak attempt to avoid fighting Alimkhanuly.

He now claims he’s remaining at 160lbs and within the last 24 hours has called-out Chris Eubank Jr.

He’s being ridiculed by social media for failing to call out the likes of Charlo, Alimkhanuly, Munguia and Benavidez.

Of course, you won’t believe me, so I’ll let you watch these videos… and then you can keep fabricating fictional excuses for your man, Boo Boo!







Andrade posted this video AFTER the WBO implemented their 30-day deadline for Demetrius to agree terms to defend his title against his mandatory challenger Zhanibek Alimkhanuly!!!!!

Demetrius Andrade To Relinquish WBO Middleweight Title, Eyes Super Middleweight Run

Demetrius Andrade will revisit plans to challenge for a title in a third weight division.

It will come at the expense of his current title reign ending with a whimper.

BS.com has learned that Providence’s Andrade will no longer move forward with an ordered WBO middleweight title consolidation clash with interim titleholder Janibek Alimkhanuly. The sanctioning body declared in May that the fight was to take place by mid-November, re-ordering a 30-day negotiation period on July 20 for the two to work out terms.

The deadline came and went without a deal in place. BS.com has learned that Andrade’s team will instead return to previous plans of moving up to super middleweight in a hoped-for interim title fight with 168-pound mandatory challenger Zach Parker (22-0, 16KOs). Such sanctioning is not in place as this goes to publish, as it requires approval from the WBO.

Meanwhile, Alimkhanuly (12-0, 8KOs) is left as the lone WBO middleweight title holder. The unbeaten Kazakhstani claimed the interim belt in a destructive second-round knockout of England’s Danny Dignum on May 21 in Las Vegas.

The same date was originally to host an Andrade-Parker interim super middleweight title fight in Parker’s hometown of Derby, England. Andrade (31-0, 19KOs) withdrew from the bout on May 2 due to injury, with the WBO removing sanctioning soon thereafter and ordering the unbeaten southpaw to next defend his middleweight title against Alimkhanuly.

The mandatory WBO middleweight title fight was first ordered last November, shortly after Andrade and Alimkhanuly posted knockout wins one day apart.

Andrade stopped Ireland’s Jason Quigley in the second round of their November 19 DAZN main event in Manchester, New Hampshire. The feat marked his fifth successful defense for Andrarde, whose reign extended back to a twelve-round win over Walter Kautondokwa in their October 2018 vacant title fight. Andrade previously held the WBO and WBA junior middleweight titles on separate occasions, all of which followed his tour as a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic boxing team that competed in Beijing.

Alimkhanuly was next in line for the 34-year-old southpaw following consecutive eighth-round stoppage wins over former secondary WBA middleweight titleholders. He stopped Rob Brant in one-sided fashion last June, before tearing through Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam last November 20. It was just in time for the WBO to instruct the pair of unbeaten middleweights to begin talks for the ordered title fight.

Nothing came of the negotiation period, nor did several attempts to schedule a purse bid hearing that was met with multiple delays and extensions. It ended with both fighters agreeing to enter separate interim title fights, which was Andrade’s plan from the start of the ordered talks. A fight with Parker would have determined the next WBO mandatory challenger for undisputed super middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (57-2-2, 39KOs).

Should a fight between Andrade and Parker materialize and come with the WBO’s blessing for an interim title at stake, the winner will be in line to challenge for the main title by May 2023. The WBO previously declared that Alvarez’s win over then-unbeaten IBF titlist Caleb Plant to fully unify the division last November was accepted as honoring his mandatory obligation, resetting the clock at 18 months to make his next such defense.

Alvarez is due to face Gennadiy Golovkin in their trilogy clash on September 17 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The WBA and WBC both have interim titlists (David Morrell and David Benavidez, respectively) awaiting the outcome and eager to plead their case to get the next crack at the main prize.

Andrade hopes to enter that mix as well but has a long road ahead to get to that point—and one that will come without his current title in tow.

Zach Parker has been the number one ranked WBO world super-middleweight title contender since November 2020.

And if he was forced to face Demetrius Andrade to become the WBO’s official mandatory challenger for Canelo’s title, then he would have been their number one ranked title contender for more than two years, which seems unfair. I feel that Queensberry will push back on any request from the WBO to make this fight.

Demetrius Andrade held the WBO’s 160lbs title hostage since late November 2021, and he never had any intention to face his mandatory challenger, Zhanibek Alimkhanuly. Boo Boo blatantly ducked him.

And to make matters worse, he lobbied the WBO to face Zach Parker for their interim title, but withdrew from the fight, and then shortly-afterwards, tried to orchestrate a middleweight bout against Chris Eubank Jr. instead.

Demetrius Andrade held the WBO world middleweight title for almost four years, and he only ever performed one mandatory defence. And now he’s vacating his title, because he doesn’t fancy his chances against the second mandatory challenger he’s been ordered to face.

Boo Boo is an absolute disgrace and doesn’t deserve an opportunity to gain the WBO’s mandatory challenger status.

Well, it seems like Andrade will have better and bigger things to do at 168.

Parker, Berlanga, Ryder!

Hopefully you’re just jesting!

[margaret thatcher]

does andrade realize he's going on 35?

[apollo creed]

Bc of that he's so desperate to get a big fight.

But he should stop acting like that and start to challenge all the top contenders from 168.

[KiwiRider]

does andrade realize he's going on 35?

I only just realised that
And he is a 'reflex fighter' which is one of the first age related things to go.

Exactly. That is precisely why a fight against Janibek, although he is tough, is not a big fight, would make peanuts for money, and he would still be sitting in the same position he's in.

Anyway, I hope he fights guys like David Benevidez or Caleb Plant sooner than later.

Curious how much you weigh EO? Booboo may be willing to do an exhibition fight on YouTube with you, if you are between 150-250? Everyone here would pay to see it I'm sure. Let me know.

Should I assume you're so incredibly frustrated and emotionally traumatised about me quoting Demetrius Andrade's own words that you've resorted to daydreaming about Boo Boo beating me up?

I would not be surprised if EO is a fat greasy slob with long filthy nails staying on a couch with a laptop on his lap, eating junk and farting hard in his basement.

In a fight EO would probably get ktfo by Andrade with one or two solid slaps, then EO would snoring and farting at the same time.

Demetrius Andrade Vacates WBO 160-Lb Belt, Janibek Alimkhanuly Upgraded To Full Champion

Demetrius Andrade (31-0, 19 KOs) has reportedly vacated his WBO middleweight title, and interim champion Janibek Alimkhanuly has been moved up to the new champ.

Andrade, 34, will be moving up to 168 to take on Zach Parker to get in a position to challenge WBO super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.

Being upgraded to full WBO 160-lb champion isn’t the ideal way for the 29-year-old Kazahstan native Janibek to become a champ, but I’m sure he’s not going to turn it down.

With that said, Janibek will likely have the same problems that Andrade had in trying to get big fights in the weight class. IBF/WBA middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin will likely retire if he loses his September 17th trilogy fight against Canelo.

The sometimes shocking discrepancy between prize money and winning belts is what may eventually force boxing to finally get it's house in order.

Andrade is doing what he thinks is best for him and dropping his belt to avoid Alimkhanuly must make good sense to him.

If he loses, Andrade would be close to being finished. So why not move up and risk losing for a far bigger purse.

I wouldn't be too surprised if many of boxing's current champions are struggling to break even financially.

Boxing is not a real sport as such, it only masquerades as one.

It's actually more of an entertainment where the highest paid are usually those with the highest profiles.

So it's difficult to blame Andrade, but it's not difficult to blame all of those 'yes men' parasites that continue to feed off the business side without ever daring to raise any objections.

Those that have previously done so, such as Paulie Malignaggi and Teddy Atlas have now effectively been cancelled as a result and have to get their opinions aired via platforms such as YouTube.

The modern day boxer has very little chance to make decent money without having a good team behind them, and that's just the beginning of their long tightrope walk to success.

Well, I agree boxing is a business full of leeches and sneaky people. Thats why FMJ was a business genius and he made the right moves and adjustments to retire on his own terms filthy rich.

As for Andrade, I think he is his fault too bc he should've taken some risks or change his management team.

I mean look for ex. a guy like Erislandy Lara fought everybody at jr mw (Molina, P.W, Vanes, Angulo, Trout, Canelo, Hurd, Castano, Ishe Smith). Some fights he lost and some he won. But he kept trying to get good fights. And Lara is a cuban. Andrade is a US fighter, who could have had a more easier way to get good fights. Both fighters have a "boring" style too.

[apollo creed]

Or maybe Andrade is not that good as people think and he just tried to hide behind soft fights, trying to build up that "I'm so avoided hype" and hoping somehow he'd get a big payday fight?

Yeah, I remember that EO loved to cawk riding Charlo and Andrade, defending them. He was yapping around that GGG is ducking Charlo and Andrade. lol

Will Janibek get the same ridiculing about being an email champ as Haney did? I doubt it.
