Andrade Demetrius May Relinquish WBO Title and Move to Next Division

The association recently established a new mandatory contender for the WBO title, Zhanibek Alimkhanuly. This happened after the refusal of the previous challenger Jaime Mungia to enter the ring against the reigning champion Andrade Demetrius. We can remind you that at the moment Demetrius has an amazing streak of victories 31-0, of which 19 are knockouts. Therefore, Mungia’s decision is quite understandable.
However, now the young Olympian Zhanibek Alimkhanuly can seriously ruin the boxer’s career. You shouldn’t expect any big cash prize as well as a good fan base from the fight. But Zhanibek Alimkhanuly has a chance to defeat Demetrius in battle.
Now, many experts say that the most logical step for Demetrius would be to give up the title and turn to the World Boxing Organization in order to move to the new division. Other than that, he could well qualify for a fight with Canelo Alvarez, which would be a good opportunity.
However, no official statements have been made on this score. And at the moment, most of the professional boxers will not want to fight against Demetrius, which speaks of his enormous talent.

Bob Arum’s New Statement about the Upcoming Fights of Tyson Fury in 2022

The primary promoter of Tyson Fury said that in 2022 an athlete could enter the ring three times. According to Bob Arum, the first could be a mandatory fight against Dillian Wheat in defense.
The whole boxer team watched the fights of Anthony Joshua with great interest and wanted to fight with him. However, after the recent defeat from the Ukrainian Alexander Usik, Joshua is actively preparing for revenge. As Arum himself stated, Fury and Joshua’s Clash is what all boxing fans from the British Isles would like. But this cannot happen due to the preparation of a rematch in the first quarter of 2022.
With no preferred fight against Joshua possible, Fury will face interim WBC champion White. However, the news was also met with great excitement, which did not spread to the United States. In America, White is unknown to most boxing fans, so you shouldn’t expect much success in this sector. Nevertheless, the confrontation is exciting and should be watched.
