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.

Жылы 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), Лондонда, 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).

Жылы 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, Наурыз 21, 2015 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^ші 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 WBO арқылы, Ыбырайым (45-5, 30 КО) has positioned himself for another world title shot as the winner of his Apr. 22^ND eliminator with Krasniqi will become the mandatory challenger for reigning WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Gilberto Ramirez, Мексика. 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 (Бүкіләлемдік бокс ұйымы) Super Middleweight Champion, as well as the former International Boxing Federation (IBF) Орташа әлем чемпионы. 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, including world champions Рауль Маркес, Hector Javier Velazco, Джермейн Тейлор, Robert Stieglitz thrice, мен Giovanni De Carolis. Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Martin Murray, Пол Смит екі рет, Lajuan Саймон, Edison Miranda екі рет. Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke мен Howard Eastman.

Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions Карл Фроч, Андре Уорд, Роберт Stieglitz мен Gilberto Ramirez. Stieglitz is the only opponent to stop Abraham, who has won nine of his last 10 төбелес, 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.
