Bentley Claims Full WBO Middleweight Crown | London News
About this episode
Denzel Bentley becomes the undisputed WBO middleweight champion after Janibek Alimkhanuly vacates the title.
Denzel Bentley just became the undisputed WBO middleweight champion after Janibek Alimkhanuly voluntarily vacated the title to pursue super middleweight glory—following a December suspension for a banned substance. Bentley, who already held the interim belt since April after defeating Endry Saavedra, earned his shot with a stellar 22-3-1 record. Promoter Frank Warren hailed it as a well-deserved milestone. The WBO is now weighing whether Bentley’s first defense will be mandatory or voluntary, with Cuban contender Yoenli Hernandez poised to challenge. This move opens the door for Bentley to cement his reign as middleweight king—and the next fight could define his legacy.
