Born in Kosovo, the 29-year-old Krasniqi (46-4, 17 Нокаута) 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.

В 2013, Krasniqi lost his first world title shot by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to defending WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion Nathan Умело (25-0), в Лондон, 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).

В 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, Март 21, 2015 в Германия, 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^тата 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 от WBO, Abraham (45-5, 30 Нокаута) has positioned himself for another world title shot as the winner of his Apr. 22^ри eliminator with Krasniqi will become the mandatory challenger for reigning WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Gilberto Ramirez, на Мексико. 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, Германия, is a two-time WBO (World Boxing Организация) Super Middleweight Champion, as well as the former International Boxing Federation (IBF) В средна World Champion. The knockout artist has a remarkable 18-4 (9 Нокаута) record in world championship bouts and is 7-4 (4 Нокаута) 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, включително световни шампиони Раул Маркес, Hector Javier Velazco, Джърмейн Тейлър, Robert Stieglitz thrice, и Giovanni De Carolis. Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Martin Murray, Paul Smith два пъти, Lajuan Simon, Edison Miranda два пъти. Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke и Howard Eastman.

Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions Carl Froch, Андре Уорд, Robert Stieglitz и Жилберто Ramirez. Stieglitz is the only opponent to stop Abraham, who has won nine of his last 10 битки, the most recent an eighth-round technical knockout of Tim Robin Lihaug (15-1) this past July in Germany for the vacant WBO International Super Middleweight Title.
