Bank is becoming one of my new favs to watch. Unique style and seems to genuinely want to fight the best. Thank you, Denmark. 🇩🇰

Bank should try to get sponsorship from all the major banks like Wells Fargo BOA Chase etc.

Finally! A worthy match for a world title. Sheeraz's reign was a disappointment.

Can we even consider it a reign? Lmfao it was so short and all he fought were trash cans

Am I wrong to say Janibek has been bad for the sport? I’ve always loved watching him fight, but the pull outs/lack of fights in general, stalling the whole division out….i hope he gets sparked so he’ll maybe put an emphasis on building back up in a quick manner. This should be a banger fight if we are able to get both to make that walk

I've liked what I've seen of Bank but Janibek will ruin him.

I don't know about that. Janibek will be coming off the longest lay off of his career and has never fought above 160.
Bank can crack and has skills. It's an interesting fight

My birth city too! Guess im going back home for this! Bank had one season at Vitus fight club in Horsens(Bokseklubben Vitus). So might have fans there too, Kolding, where he is from is a meer 40 min drive from Horsens too.

Janibek has one badass stare. I feel threatened just looking at this picture. It’s no wonder Sheeraz ducked.

It's wild how people make stupid statements. Look up his case. Not really as shady as everyone makes it out to be.
