On April 16 in Munich, Germany,
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental titlist Shefat
Isufi will face former IBF World
champion Alejandro Berrio for the
vacant WBF World Light Heavyweight
title.
Isufi, 33-4-2 (24), became WBF
Intercontinental champion last
September when he defeated Czech
warrior Tomas Adamek, and is now
ready for what will be his second
world title opportunity.
In 2019 the Serbian-born German lost
a decision to Billy Joe Saunders for
the WBO World Super Middleweight
title, but has rebounded with six
straight victories to line up a
second chance at Light Heavyweight.
On a previous visit to Germany,
Alejandro “Naco” Berrio, 39-10 (33),
won the IBF World Super Middleweight
crown in 2007, stopping Robert
Stieglitz in three rounds.
He lost the title seven months later
to Lucien Bute in front of over
thirteen thousand spectators in
Montreal, Canada.
It will be the hard-punching
Colombian veterans first world title
fight since then, so he will
undoubtedly be looking to make the
most of it.
The fight, expected to be an
explosive affair, will headline a
show promoted by Petkos Boxing.
