🚨 Janibek Alimkhanuly has been stripped of his IBF middleweight world title, The Ring has confirmed. The IBF cited multiple violations of its rules for the stripping, including PED usage. Janibek previously failed a VADA test taken last November. He still holds his WBO belt, but is currently serving a year long suspension the sanctioning body handed to him.

39 yrs ago Mar 7: @MikeTyson outpoints James “Bonecrusher” Smith over 12, unifies WBC/WBA heavyweight titles, Hilton LV. In battle of punchers, Smith morphs into “Bonehugger,” clutching, holding & doing everything he can to stymie ferocious attack of prime Tyson, who wins easily.


Per source, the IBF pulled sanction and sent supervisor home after presser because IBF president Daryl Peoples felt disrespected by how the belt was positioned as secondary to the Zuffa belt at presser even though Jai had the belt prominently displayed and was holding it during the face off. Peoples wrote in an email to officials saying that was why the title sanction was being pulled. Said he was very disappointed. I’ve got no dog in this fight. But that’s what happened. I only feel bad for Opetaia whose goal is to win all the belts. Sanction being pulled has nothing to do with that rule the IBF specified because the rule was on the books when IBF sanctioned the fight in the first place. And the rule only is about non-trophy belts which until the Ali Act amendment becomes law IS a trophy belt. #boxing #OpetaiaGlanton
