Cruiserweight Rudolf Kraj meets Giacobbe Fragomeni for the vacant WBC cruiserweight crown on Friday, October 24 in Milan (Italy).
For cruiserweight Rudolf "Rudy“ Kraj it is the chance of his life – on October 24 he will get his world title shot in Milan: the unbeaten spotlight boxing fighter Kraj (14-0-0 (10)) will face the local hero and experienced fighter Giacobbe Fragomeni (25-1-0 (10)) in the Italian metropolis for the vacant WBC cruiserweight belt.
Kraj, who earned this world title shot by defeating Matt Godfrey in a WBC Eliminator in Krefeld on March 8, had been signed by spotlight boxing in 2005. In the upcoming world title clash the hard hitting WBC #1 contender Kraj will collide with the Italian WBC #2 Giacobbe Fragomeni who was only beaten once in his 26 fights by the former cruiserweight Super Champ David Haye. With a win the Hamburg based Kraj can become the first Czech world champion. This in certainly an additional motivation for the spotlight fighter: "I would be very proud to be crowned the first Czech boxing world champion. Not only for my country but as well as motivation for all the young and talented boxers in the Czech Republic!“
Kraj-Coach Conny Mittermeier: "Fragomeni is a very tough fighter and he was only beaten by David Haye. In that fight he did a very good job. Fragomeni will attack from the beginning. As this fight is staged abroad we have to give everything. The best result would be a KO! And Rudy has got a hard punch which we have to make use of. We only have a chance to win this battle if we show an impressive performance. Otherwise its gonna be very difficult to win on points!“
Kraj is the better fighter, but can he win a decision in Italy?
