Janibek stated this via a Top Rank press release earlier this week in regards to the state of the middleweight division,
“I give all of the credit score to Steven Butler for accepting this battle. In a division stuffed with geese, Butler is a real warrior. I do know he’ll come to battle, and we are going to give the followers an awesome present.”
“Demetrius Andrade gave up his title to keep away from preventing me. He ran eight pounds up the scale. He’s the final word duck. Jaime Munguia turned down a shot on the title to battle weaker opposition. They’re the 2 geese, however I’m the champion now,” Janibek continued.
“I known as out the division’s different champions, they usually didn’t reply. Butler answered the decision. I’m preventing Saturday to show some extent. I’ll knock out Butler in devastating vogue.”
“The middleweight division runs via me now. I’m right here to remain. Whereas the opposite champions proceed to not battle, I’ll problem the very best and knock out everybody in my path.”
Janibek, 13-0, 8 KOs, gained his final bout by determination, although Britain’s Denzel Bentley stood as much as his energy. He had gained the WBO interim middleweight world title final Might with a second-round destruction of Danny Dignum. Alimkhanuky was elevated to world champion standing, when, as Janibek referenced above, Andrade vacated the world title.
As for the Canadian Butler, 32-3-1, 26 KOs, has gained 4 straight bouts, all in Canada, since struggling again to again defeats. Now, we’ll see if he can final like Bentley did or will Janibek make the assertion with he large punches that he hopes to make in a marquee spot?
