Comments Thread For: Promoter explains why Hamzah Sheeraz is fighting Carlos Adames instead of Janibek Alimkhanuly
Hamzah Sheeraz had been in line for a fight with unified IBF and WBO middleweight titleholder Janibek Alimkhanuly. That's not the route he chose.

well there's no way the winner of Pauls and Bentley is beating Alimkanuly so this is all about Warren dipping his hand in the honey pot twice. I like Adames vs Sheeraz though and hopefully Sheeraz will unify with A. - win or lose Sheeraz will be more seasoned.
I think the REAL plan is for Sheeraz to beat both Adames and Lara (huge ask) before facing Janibek in another massive undisputed clash in Saudi. If Janibek beats him, I think he'll move up as he's already massive for the weight.
They just wanted an easier route for Sheeraz. No great sin. Adames is a more winnable fight right now. That talk of unification is rubbish. Bentley doesn't even deserve a shot at Janibek, and has virtually no chance of beating him. A unification with Janibek after a defense or two is more likely.
