Hamzah Sheeraz withdraws from a proposed bout with Janibek Alimkhanuly and relinquishes his WBO super-middleweight title, the sanctioning body confirms. The decision means Sheeraz will not be defending the belt as planned.
The sources report the same core events but provide limited additional detail beyond the confirmation from the WBO. With Sheeraz stepping aside, the next steps regarding the WBO super-middleweight championship—such as whether a replacement challenger is named or how the vacant title is handled—remain unclear from the available reporting.
Both outlets present the announcement as a straightforward outcome of Sheeraz’s withdrawal and his decision to give up the title, without attributing the move to specific injury, negotiations, or other circumstances in the provided text.
