Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Chris Eubank Jr. - Who wins?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Janibek Alimkhanuly's Promoter Ready and Willing To Finalize Chris Eubank Jr. Clash

Top Rank president Todd DuBoef, who promotes WBO, IBF middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly, is ready and willing to finalize a defense against British star Chris Eubank Jr.

A few days ago, Eubank took to social media to complain that his promoter, Kalle Sauerland of Wasserman, was trying to get him in a fight with another opponent instead of Janibek.

Eubank had been in negotiations to face domestic rival Conor Benn for a February date - but their discussions fell apart.

If Eubank wants Janibek - DuBoef is ready to make it happen.

"Let's go," DuBoef told Sky Sports. "There is no red light, it's all green light right here.

"We're ready. There was a lot of chatter over this past week about Eubank being ready for the fight and Janibek is a really, really skilled fighter. We've put it out there and he's given us the directive of we'll fight anybody. We think he's the premier guy in the middleweight division...Eubank said he was interested, we're interested. Let's bring it on, I think it would be fantastic. I think it's fantastic for the sport and fantastic for the middleweights."

Eubank was in the ring back in September, when he got revenge by dominating and stopping Liam Smith in the tenth round of their rematch.

In October, Janibek crushed Vincenzo Gulatieri in six to unify the WBO, IBF titles.

And the unbeaten puncher would not have a problem heading to the UK for Eubank.

"We also saw Loma do it with Luke Campbell, which is a credit to the wonderful, sophisticated fans the UK has," DuBoef said. "They appreciate great boxers wherever they come from.

"I think Janibek, with the right dance partner, the fans there will appreciate his skillset. It makes sense with the right guy, Eubank would be the right guy, and we're ready to go."

"I have a better chance of banging Beyonce than this fight does of happening"

Junior won't take this for all the tea in China

The sort of fight that should be happening.

[Nightmare Roy]

Wants gazillions to beat up a Welterweight but will fight this beast for beer money. Nah ain't happening. Roll out Kell Brook.

At this stage why not take the fight if the money is good? Everyone expects Eubank to lose but he’s tough enough to give Janibek a workout.
He can still fight Conor and others afterwards, losing to Janibek doesn’t hurt him unless he gets cleaned out totally which I don’t think willl happen.

This exactly,
Everyone saying Janibek is a beast but Bentley gave him a toughish fight , so why not ?

[THEBUTCH]

Probably Eubank jnr's last chance to show the boxing world his career is still serious if he takes this fight.

[margaret thatcher]

this would be a good fight, probably the highest level id give jr a realistic shot of winning at, though jani would still be fave

[THEBUTCH]

I reckon a lopsided points win for Janibek. Eubank jnr took a few wrong turns a while back in his career and I don't see him bridging the gap anymore in world class/championships.
