The 30 year old Alimkhanuly is a southpaw with an amazing amateur background. To prepare in part, Brant sparred with world class southpaw Errol Spence while getting the usual high level work with team Terence Crawford. Brant defeated Ryota Murata in 2018 to become world champion, losing the rematch a year later. “Bravo” dominated Vitalii Kopylenko last October and says he hopes a great performance tomorrow night leads to another world title shot against any of the best in the middleweight division.
Both fights will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, with undercard bouts set to begin on ESPN+ at 7:15 p.m. ET/4:15 p.m. PT.
