Janibek Alimkhanuly was defending his world title for the second time after beating Briton Denzel Bentley last year

Kazakhstan's Janibek Alimkhanuly defended his WBO middleweight world title with an impressive second-round knockout of Canada's Steven Butler.

The 30-year-old caught Butler with a left hook and followed with a series of lefts, flooring Butler three times before the referee stopped the bout.

Unbeaten southpaw Alimkhanuly now has 14 wins with nine knockouts.

Afterwards he called out Mexico's Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and American Jermall Charlo.

Alvarez is the undisputed super-middleweight champion, while Charlo holds the WBC middleweight belt.
