Sheeraz Vacates WBO Title, Withdraws From Alimkhanuly Mandatory Defence
British boxer Hamzah Sheeraz has pulled out of his mandatory defence against Kazakhstan’s Janibek Alimkhanuly and given up the WBO super‑middleweight title. The decision follows a purse‑bid won by Queensberry Promotions, but the champion elected not to proceed, prompting the WBO to confirm his vacating of the belt.
