Janibek Moves Up, Bentley Claims Title | Boxing News
Description
Janibek Alimkhanuly’s WBO middleweight reign is over as he moves up to super middleweight, handing the full title to Denzel Bentley — who just earned it by stopping Endry Saavedra — after Janibek’s 2025 meldonium suspension ends.

The division is shaken up — and Bentley’s reign is about to be tested.
