Gualtieri vs. Alimkhanuly: Unification hit live on “Sportschau.de”!
The 30-year-old Vincenzo Gualtieri from Wuppertal (21-0-1, 9 KOs) faces his next big test on Saturday night! The reigning IBF middleweight world champion wants to secure the next major world championship crown with a victory over Janibek Alimkhanuly (Kazakhstan/14-0-0, 9 KOs), who is of the same age.
After Gualtieri was only able to win the IBF belt in July with a clear points victory over the Brazilian Esquiva Falcao, the previously undefeated AGON boxer is now daring to jump across the “big pond”. But when Vincenzo Gualtieri meets WBO champion Alimkhanuly in Rosenberg, Texas (USA), the German will step into the rope square as a blatant underdog.
Because the equally undefeated Janibek Alimkhanuly is considered a feared puncher. The Kazakh southpaw also fought over 300 fights as an amateur, was world champion in 2013 and took part in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Alimkhanuly wants to emulate his prominent compatriot Gennady Golovkin – and attract similar global attention.
Yesterday the two main fighters faced each other again at the last official press event. The German IBF champ in particular made an extremely determined impression.
Gualtieri: “This fight means everything to me. I expect to leave the ring victorious. I prepared very long and hard in the training camp. I know that a lot of people underestimate me. But I’m here to show that I can win.”
