Given this situation, Lara will defend his title against Johan Gonz\u00e1lez, as announced by Premier Boxing Champions on Tuesday.\n\nAlimkhanuly (17-0, 12 KOs) tested positive for Meldonium, a banned substance, in a test conducted on November 15 by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). The unified champion responded to the result on X, proclaiming his innocence.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I have always supported clean sport, they know it well.

The event was part of a PBC PPV card on Prime Video.\n\nAlimkhanuly last fought on April 5, where he successfully retained his WBO and IBF titles against Anauel Ngamissengue. Instead, Gonzalez (36-4, 34 KOs) will take on the challenge. Gonzalez was last seen in action in March, when he defeated Jarrett Hurd by split decision. Hurd retired after the loss.\n\nGonz\u00e1lez will take a big step by challenging the current oldest champion in boxing. Lara (31-3-3, 19 KOs), 42 years old, hasn&#8217;t fought since September 2024, when he retained his title by stopping Danny Garc\u00eda.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Janibek Alimkhanuly, out of action due to doping; Erislandy Lara will face Johan Gonz\u00e1lez Unified middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly has tested positive for a banned substance and has been withdrawn from his unification fight scheduled for Saturday against WBA champion Erislandy Lara.
