Pervizaj turned pro with Sauerland Event in 2017 but took a long break after an upset loss to Dusan Veletic in 2019. He returned in 2020 but took another long break before signing with Fides this year.

Milas, from Croatia, has a similar story. He turned pro 2015 and was undefeated until stopped by Tony Yoka in 2021 and fought only twice since then before beginning his comeback with Fides earlier this year.
