The vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Eurasia Cruiserweight title will be the prize, when Tefik Bajrami and Marino Goles fight on Saturday October 22 as the main event of a show staged at Pallati i Rinise, the Palace of Youth & Sports, in Pristina, Kosovo.
Born in Kosovo, Tefik “Hurricane” Bajrami, 10-1 (7), is currently based in Zurich, Switzerland, so it will be a home-coming fight for him against the experienced Goles from Croatia, who brings a 21-7 (19) record against the tougher opposition.
Bajrami turned pro in 2010 and has since averaged only a couple of fights a year, keeping busy running a martial arts school in Luzern. In October of 2015 he won a minor regional title against journeyman Attila Makula, which he retained with an impressive first round stoppage of Georgian Grigol Abuladze last April.
Goles, nicknamed “Cro Beast”, has been more active since entering the paid ranks in 2009. He too has captured a few minor belts, and he has been in with notable Cruiserweights and Heavyweights such as Alexander Petkovic (48-4-4), Mark de Mori (26-1-2), Gary Cornish (19-0) and Herve Hubeaux (20-1).
The Bajrami vs. Goles WBF Eurasia Cruiserweight title fight, and undercard featuring local pros and amateurs, will also be promoted by Tefik Bajrami.
