Early life
Alimkhanuly began boxing at the age of six because of his father and grandfather's love of the sport. His first fight was at six and he lost that match.{{cite web|url=https://fight-library.com/2020/03/17/qazaq-style-janibek-alimkhanuly/|title=Qazaq Style: Janibek Alimkhanuly|publisher=Fight-Library.com|author=Blaine Henry|date=March 17, 2020}}
Professional career

From 2016 to 2019, Alimkhanuly amused a record of 8-0. Ahead of his fight with Issah Samir on 21 March 2020, the world was struck with COVID-19. Alimkhanuly's fight was canceled but he said it's not a big deal that his bout was canceled and that there were more pressing concerns. "We just lost the fight date, someone lost the family. It’s not easy. We will fight when everything calms down but nobody will not return them to their family. I wish all patients a quick recovery.”{{cite web|url=https://fight-library.com/2020/03/17/qazaq-style-janibek-alimkhanuly/|title=Qazaq Style: Janibek Alimkhanuly|publisher=Fight-Library.com|author=Blaine Henry|date=March 17, 2020}}
