 CASABLANCA, ਮੋਰੋਕੋ (ਫਰਵਰੀ 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion ਮਾਇਰ “El ਤੋਰੋ” Kalenga will provide chief support ਫਰਵਰੀ 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii 'ਤੇ “Battle of Casablanca” ਕਾਰਡ, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, ਮੋਰੋਕੋ.Kalenga (22-3, 15 ਕੋਸ), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਐਸੋਸੀਏਸ਼ਨ ਦੇ ਕੇ (WBA) ਅਤੇ ਕੋਈ. 16 ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਸ਼ਦ ਦੇ ਕੇ (WBC).

ਵਿੱਚ 2014, Kalenga captured the WBA Interim title with a 12-round split decision over 32-1 Mateusz Masternak in Monaco, followed with a successful title defense in Canada against 12-0 Denton ਡਾਲੀ by way of a 12th round technical knockout.
Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion ਡੇਨਿਸ ਯੂਰੇਲਿਬਿਡਿਵ (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 yunier Dorticos in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
 The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 ਓਲੰਪਿਕ ਸੋਨ ਤਮਗਾ ਜੇਤੂ Daniyar Yeleussinov in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 ਬ੍ਰਾਜ਼ੀਲ ਵਿਚ ਓਲੰਪਿਕ ਖੇਡ, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.The ultra-charismatic Rabii has reached “rock star” status in Morocco, testament by an average of 6-million Moroccans viewing each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches on Arryadia Television. “We are very excited to work with our television partners, Arryadia, on our February 18th show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” ਪ੍ਰਮੋਟਰ ਗੈਰੀ Hyde ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ. “Rabii has the entire nation of Morocco behind him and he will be challenging for top welterweight honors in no time at all.”
Rabii will take on veteran Hungarian boxer ਆਦਮ “ਮੰਦਾ Boy” Mate (24-10, 17 ਕੋਸ) in the six-round main event.
Also in action on “Battle of Casablanca” will be former World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Organization (IBO) world featherweight champion, Simpiwe Vetyeka (29-3, 17 ਕੋਸ), who is world ranked No. 4 WBA ਕੇ, ਨਾਂ ਕਰੋ. 6 ਕੇ ਰਿੰਗ magazine, ਅਤੇ ਕੋਈ. 7 WBC ਕੇ.

Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 ਕੋਸ) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 ਕੋਸ) in another 10-rounder. Khatchikian, who will be fighting as a 154-pounder for the first time as a professional, has only lost twice as a pro, both to present super middleweight world champions, James Degale (IBF) ਅਤੇ Gilberto Ramirez (WBO).
