Born in Kosovo, the 29-year-old Krasniqi (46-4, 17 KOS) 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.
Yilda 2013, Krasniqi lost his first world title shot by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to defending WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion Nathan Donolik (25-0), Londonda, 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).
Yilda 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, Qadam tashlamoq 21, 2015 Germaniyada, 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 10th 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 tomonidan, Abraham (45-5, 30 KOS) has positioned himself for another world title shot as the winner of his Apr. 22nd eliminator with Krasniqi will become the mandatory challenger for reigning WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Gilberto Ramirez, Meksika. 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 knockout artist has a remarkable 18-4 (9 KOS) record in world championship bouts and is 7-4 (4 KOS) 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 Raul Marquez, Hector Javier Velazco, Jermain Taylor, Robert Stieglitz thrice, va Giovanni De Carolis. Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Martin Murray, Paul Smith ikki marotaba, Laxuan Saymon, Edison Miranda ikki marotaba. Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke va Howard Eastman.
Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions Carl Fröch, Andre Uord, Robert Stieglitz va Gilberto Ramirez.
