Born in Kosovo, the 29-year-old Krasniqi (46-4, 17 קאָס) 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.
אין 2013, Krasniqi lost his first world title shot by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to defending WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion נתן קלעווערלי (25-0), אין לאָנדאָן, 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 (וובאַ) Continental Light Heavyweight Title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Oleksandr Cherviak (14-3-1).
אין 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, מאַרץ 21, 2015 אין Germany, 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 10טה 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 דורך די וובאָ, אברהם (45-5, 30 קאָס) has positioned himself for another world title shot as the winner of his Apr. 22נד eliminator with Krasniqi will become the mandatory challenger for reigning WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Gilberto Ramirez, of Mexico. 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, דייַטשלאַנד, is a two-time WBO (וועלט באָקסינג אָרגאַניזירונג) Super Middleweight Champion, as well as the former International Boxing Federation (יבף) מידדלעוועיגהט וועלט טשאַמפּיאָן. The knockout artist has a remarkable 18-4 (9 קאָס) record in world championship bouts and is 7-4 (4 קאָס) 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 ראַול מאַרקעז, Hector Javier Velazco, דזשערמאַין טיילער, Robert Stieglitz thrice, און Giovanni De Carolis. Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Martin Murray, Paul סמיט צוויי מאָל, לאַדזשואַן שמעון, Edison Miranda צוויי מאָל. Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke און Howard Eastman.
Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions קאַרל פראָטש, אַנדרע קעסטקינד, ראבערט Stieglitz און Gilberto ראַמירעז. Stieglitz is the only opponent to stop Abraham, who has won nine of his last 10 פייץ, 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.
Additional PPV fights will soon be announced.
