Jacob Bank Gets Zhanibek Alimkhanuly Title Shot
The camps have 15 days to agree before purse bid proceedings decide the vacant WBO super-middleweight title fight.
- On Tuesday, the WBO World Championship Committee ordered negotiations between Zhanibek Alimkhanuly and Jacob Bank for the vacant 168-pound title, following Hamzah Sheeraz's relinquishment of his belt last week.
- With Sheeraz vacating the championship, the WBO ordered its top available contenders to collide, though No. 2-ranked Diego Pacheco remains unavailable due to his November 14 bout with Darius Fulghum.
- Jacob Bank previously protested the WBO reinstating Alimkhanuly following a doping suspension; now the Danish contender faces the exact opponent he formerly criticized in the ring.
- WBO president Gustavo Olivieri advised that both camps have 15 days to finalize terms; purse bid proceedings will follow if no deal emerges within that window.
- A Top Rank bid would take the event to America on ESPN, though promoter Kasper Holgersen could bring it to Denmark, potentially yielding the country's first 168-pound titleholder since Mikkel Kessler.
