Watch the anticipated match between Janibek Alimkhanuly and Andrei Mikhailovich this Saturday, July 13th, live on ESPN+. The event will take place at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and will also showcase a co-main event featuring lightweights Raymond Muratalla and Tevin Farmer. Tune in at 6:50 p.m. ET to catch all the action.
Janibek, the IBF and WBC middleweight champion, will put his titles on the line as he faces the lesser-known #3 IBF Mikhailovich in a twelve-round showdown. This fight, which some believe could have been a co-feature, is Top Rank’s strategy to elevate Janibek’s status by presenting him with challenging opponents.
In the co-main event, Raymon Muratalla and Tevin Farmer will battle it out over ten rounds. Muratalla, a rising young boxer with power in his punches, will go head-to-head with Farmer, a seasoned former champion recognized for his elusive fighting style. As Farmer approaches 34 years old, he must put up a strong defense against the aggressive Muratalla.
Muratalla, ambitious and hungry for success, looks forward to taking on the top contenders in the lightweight division. However, he acknowledges the tough competition posed by Farmer, a former world champion determined to secure another title shot.
