Janibek and Berik: Qazaq Style boxing in America

Premiere on KZhead, continuation of the documentary story of the professional boxer from Kazakhstan, Janibek Alimkhanuly, and his manager, Berik Sultan. The film follows their journey through the thorny boxing path as they strive to achieve two championship belts.
I am thrilled to share this movie with you. We filmed it last year.
I remember back in 2018 when I documented Janibek’s move to America and his first professional fight in the USA. Five years later, my friend and cameraman, Timur Rahim, and I witnessed Janibek’s major championship fight. This film is about the world of boxing, the rigorous preparation for a fight, and the behind-the-scenes moments.
The film is in Kazakh, but you can enable subtitles in English and Russian in the settings.
