Bank will face Alimkhanuly in Denmark for vacant WBO World super-middleweight title

World Boxing Organization announced that a deal was reached between teams of Janibek Alimkhanuly (17-0, 12 KOs) and Jacob Bank (20-0, 11 KOs). So the boxers will face each-other for vacant WBO World super-middleweight title in Denmark in January.

Title became vacant after Hamzah Sheeraz (24-0-1) opted to relinquish because he wasn’t happy with financial conditions on facing Alimkhanuly.

"We have always meant that Jacobs biggest chance to become world champion is at home. With thousands of Danes behind him and the whole nation's support, we can create a very special atmosphere that hopefully can make a difference”, said his promotion “Primetime Boxing”.

"Jacob has worked his whole life to get here. He has proven that he belongs among the best in the world, and now he has the opportunity to take the final step. We fully and firmly believe that he can become world champion."
