Raymond Muratalla and Tevin Farmer step up in a big way and will now main event a Top Rank-produced show in Las Vegas.
The new main event replaces Janibek Alimkhanuly defending the IBF and WBO belts against Andrei Mikhailovich. Janibek was dehydrated and hospitalized prior to weigh-ins, forcing the fight off the card.
“Janibek was cutting the final pounds last night when he fainted,” said Egis Klimas, Janibek’s manager. “We immediately took him to Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center, where he was put on an IV. While the scans showed no kidney damage, he was severely dehydrated and in no condition to fight.”
Muratalla (20-0) went 3-0 in 2023, winning the NABF lightweight title against former title contender Jeremia Nakathila. Muratalla, 27, has gone from opening cards to being the co-feature here and looks for a dominant win on his way to a potential world title opportunity.
“I’m ready for the lightweight champions, but I can’t take Tevin Farmer lightly. He is a former world champion who wants another shot,” Muratalla said. “I have a great training team with Robert Garcia and all the fighters at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy, and they push me to get better every fight. On July 13, you will see the best version of Raymond Muratalla.”
