Jaime Munguia got a knockout win on Saturday and promptly called out Gennadiy Golovkin, a unified world champion for May of 2023.
The WBO seemingly hours later, put forth an effort to make a fight between Munguia and their current champion Janibek Alimkhanuly, as the two now have 15-days to make the bout happen. This is the second time this fight has now been mandated.
“Please be advised that the WBO World Championship Committee orders the parties herein to commence the negotiations for the above-referenced bout between Jaime Munguia and [Janibek] Alimkhanuly,” Luis Batista-Salas, chairman of the WBO Championship Committee noted to the promoters of both boxers via official letter, a copy of which was obtained by Jake Donovan BoxingScene.com.
If no deal is reached the two parties will speak on December 5th, with a minimum acceptable bid for a WBO-sanctioned middleweight title fight being $200,000.
