 CASABLANCA, מאָראָקקאָ (פעברואַר 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion יורי “אל טאָראָ” קאַלענגאַ will provide chief support פעברואַר 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii אויף די “Battle of Casablanca” קאָרט, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, מאָראָקקאָ.קאַלענגאַ (22-3, 15 קאָס), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג פאַרבאַנד (וובאַ) און ניט קיין. 16 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג קאָונסיל (וובק). The knockout artist takes on Garrett “די ולטימאַטע וואַרריאָר” ווילסאָן (17-11-1, 9 קאָס), פון פילאדעלפיע, who is a former United States Boxing Association (USBA) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) מייַסטער.
אין 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 דענטאָן דיילי by way of a 12טה 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 דעניס לעבעדעוו (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 יוניער דאָרטיקאָס in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
 The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט 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 אָלימפּיק גאַמעס אין Brazil, 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 18טה show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” פאַרשפּרייטער גערי הידע האט. “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 אד"ם “שלעכט יינגל” Mate (24-10, 17 קאָס) in the six-round main event.
Also in action on “Battle of Casablanca” will be former World Boxing Association (וובאַ) and International Boxing Organization (יבאָ) world featherweight champion, Simpiwe Vetyeka (29-3, 17 קאָס), who is world ranked No. 4 דורך די וובאַ, צי ניט. 6 דורך די רינג magazine, און ניט קיין. 7 דורך די וובק. The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 קאָס) אין אַ 10-קייַלעכיק באַוט.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 קאָס) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 קאָס) 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 (יבף) און Gilberto Ramirez (וובאָ).
Hyde manages Rabii, Kalanga and Vetyeka.
Tickets are now on sale for the פעברואר. 18 show in Casablanca.
