Terrific Fight in Hamburg: EBU Champion vs. WBC International Silver Champion

Labinot Xhoxhaj (20-0-1, 16 KOs),the EBU European Heavyweight Champion, will face Mourad Aliev (13-0-0, 10 KOs), the WBC International Silver Champion, in an attractive champion vs. champion fight to be held in Hamburg, Germany.

Xhoxhaj (20-0-1, 16 KOs) turned professional in 2016. The Kosovo-born boxer has fought in Germany, Kosovo, and Switzerland during his rise.

The 32-year-old earned a victory over the always-combative Tamas Lodi, although he was held to a draw by Milosav Savic. He was expected to lose to the much bigger Oleksandr Zakhozhyi, but he recovered from an early knockdown to score one of his own, en route to a 12-round unanimous decision.

Aliev (13-0, 10 KOs) was a standout amateur who represented France at the 2021 Olympics. Since turning pro, he has fought primarily in Germany.

The 29-year-old has scored wins over Yakup Saglam, Evgenios Lazaridis, and, most recently, David Brito.
An unmissable night that will shake up the heavyweight division! Don’t miss it!
