Born in Kosovo, the 29-year-old Krasniqi (46-4, 17 КО) is a former European and WBO International Light Heavyweight Champion, who resides in Munich, Germany and packs a thunderous punch. Three fights ago, he moved down in weight from Light Heavyweight to Super Middleweight, winning all three bouts at the new weight class and looking highly impressive.

У 2013, Krasniqi lost his first world title shot by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to defending WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion Натан Клеверли (25-0), у Лондане, by way of a hard-fought 12-round decision.

Following his first career defeat, Krasniqi went on to capture the WBO International Light Heavyweight Title with a seventh-round knockout of previously undefeated Emmanuel Danso (20-0), and has since defended that belt. Krasniqi won the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental Light Heavyweight Title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Oleksandr Cherviak (14-3-1).

У 2014, Krasniqi successfully defended those two championships, taking a 12-round unanimous decision from Dariusz Sek (21-1-1), which set up his second world title shot, Сакавіка 21, 2015 у Германіі, against long-time defending WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Juergan Braehmer (45-2) in a massive all-German world title showdown. Krasniqi was unable to answer the bell for the 10^й round but learned that he should drop a weight class. Since moving down to Super Middleweight, Krasniqi has looked impressive but Abraham will surely be the biggest test of his career.

Rated No. 2 па версіі WBO, Абрагам (45-5, 30 КО) has positioned himself for another world title shot as the winner of his Apr. 22^й eliminator with Krasniqi will become the mandatory challenger for reigning WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Gilberto Ramirez, мексіканскі. Abraham lost his WBO crown by way a 12-round unanimous decision to Ramirez in Las Vegas in 2016 but must win against Krasniqi to have an opportunity at regaining his title.

The 37-year-old Abraham, a native of Armenia who lives in Berlin, Германія, is a two-time WBO (Сусветная баксёрская арганізацыя) Super Middleweight Champion, as well as the former International Boxing Federation (IBF) Чэмпіён свету ў сярэднім. The knockout artist has a remarkable 18-4 (9 КО) record in world championship bouts and is 7-4 (4 КО) against former or current world champions. Noted victims during his 16-½ year professional career reads like a Who’s Who of Boxing in the 160 and 168-pound divisions, у тым ліку чэмпіёны свету Рауль Маркес, Гектар Хаўер Веласко, Джэрмэйн Тэйлар, Robert Stieglitz thrice, і Giovanni De Carolis. Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Martin Murray, Пол Сміт двойчы, Лахуана Simon, Эдысан Міранда двойчы. Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke і Howard Eastman.

Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions Карл Фроч, Андрэ Уорд, Роберт Stieglitz і Gilberto Рамірэс.
