Meriton Karaxha, 20-5-2 (7) and
Jean Moraiti, 17-14-4 (2), are
set for a World Boxing
Federation (WBF) International
Welterweight title decider on
Friday November 23 at the
Theatre Jean-Claude Drouot in
Lessines, Belgium.
Headlining a show promoted by
Nicolas Vinet and his Elite
Promotions, the pair will
contest the vacant title after
former champion Zino Meuli from
Switzerland decided to put his
focus on fighting for the WBF
World Championship.
Karaxha (26), born in Albania
but fighting out of Belgium his
entire career, is a former
Belgian national Welterweight
Champion, and has kept unusually
busy in the ring by today's
standards since turning
professional in 2013.
The fight against Moraiti will
be his sixth in 2018, and in his
most recent outing, on October
5, he fought to a draw against
Steve Jamoye (24-5-1) for the
BeNeLux title. Against Moraiti
he is planning to convincingly
be victorious and bring home the
WBF belt.
Having held various
championships throughout his
paid campaign, Jean Moraiti
(26), from Aubagne in southern
France, is hoping to make
history by becoming the first
three-time, three-division WBF
International Champion.
In 2015 he won the Light
Welterweight title in his
home-town, and the following
year he added the Lightweight
crown to his resume in Germany.
If successful on November 23, it
will be quite an accomplishment.
