Unbeaten heavyweights Arnold Gjergjaj and Adnan Redzovic will clash for the vacant EBU EE-EU title on October 4 in Basel (Switzerland). Gjergjaj (25-0) is claimed to have a harder punch than Wladimir Klitschko but has never fought anywhere near that level and has been brought along very carefully. The 37-year old Redzovic (15-0) has lately fought on the undercards to Felix Sturm´s fights in Germany but has in his ten year career never fought anyone of note so it is an interesting test for both. Especially, Gjergjaj has strong backing from his home country of Kosova.
