The final program of the
upcoming III. World Boxing
Federation (WBF) World
Convention in Maribor, Slovenia
(September 22 – 25) has now been
announced by General Secretary
Diana Spasova, including details
of the WBF Championship Boxing
Night on the Saturday, which
features a total of three WBF
title bouts.

Televised by RTV Slovenija (who
will also broadcast the official
Convention Opening Ceremony on
Thursday afternoon) the huge
international WBF championship
triple-header
will take place at the Dvorana
Tabor Hall – just a stone’s
throw away from the posh Hotel
Habakuk, which hosts the WBF
Convention – on Saturday
evening, September 24.
WBF International Light
Welterweight Champion Jean
Moraiti from France is set to
make his long-awaited first
defense of the title he won last
October, when he takes on highly
experienced former world
title-challenger Mikhail Avakyan
from Georgia.
Moraiti, 12-9-1 (0), beat
another Georgian, Anzor
Gamgebeli, to become champion on
home ground in Aubagne, and now
he is travelling to Slovenia to
fend off the challenge of
Avakyan, 36-26-4 (20), who lost
a split decision to Englishman
Chris Goodwin for the WBF World
Welterweight crown on short
notice in 2014.
Also on the card, undefeated
22-year-old Malta-based Libyan
Malik Zinad, 5-0 (4), will
attempt to get his career on a
fast-track when he fights
battle-tested Hungarian Attila
Palko, 23-25 (15) for the vacant
WBF International Light
Heavyweight title.
Finally, rounding out the card
promoted by Tomaz Barada and
former two-time world champion
Jan Zaveck, entertaining South
African David Rajuli, 7-5-1 (2),
is paired with Georgian Giorgi
Gachechiladze, 21-23-1 (14), to
decide the vacant WBF
International Super
Featherweight championship.
