Undefeated Enes Zecirevic, from
Bosnia and Herzegovina but now
based in Switzerland, is set to
face Georgian Mikheil
Khutsisvili for the vacant World
Boxing Federation International
Super Middleweight title on
Saturday May 25 at the
Sporthalle Badbetrieb in Bad
Ragaz, Switzerland.
Zecirevic spots an unblemished
professional record of 8-0 (6),
but must be considered a late
bloomer in the sport at 30 years
of age. He turned pro in May
2011, and this will be his first
championship fight, against what
will undoubtedly be his biggest
test, in the paid ranks.
24-year-old Khutsisvili, 26-18-5
(10), on the other hand was only
seventeen when he dropped the
west in 2006, and the fight in
Switzerland will amazingly be
his 50th professional
bout in less than seven years.
However, while he has challenged
for a few minor titles, this
will surely be his most
important fight to date.
“I have fought world class
boxers, including Martin Murray,
Matthew Hatton, Sergey Rabchenko
and Jack Culcay, and I know for
sure that this guy I am fighting
in Switzerland is not as good as
those guys”, said Khutsisvili
before his departure from
Tbilisi airport.
“I have had bad nights and good
nights in the ring, but I feel
better than ever and has not
lost in my last five bouts, so I
am confident that I will win
this one too!”
The Enes Zecirevic vs. Mikheil
Khutsisvili WBF International
Super Middleweight title fight
will be promoted by Team CALE
Boxing Promotion and Leonardo
Caputo.
