Last October, falling sick a few days before, he had to cancel a WBFed world title shot, but Austria’s Gogi ‘Lionheart’ Knezevic, 18-2-1 (8), has not given up on that elusive dream of capturing a world crown.
Still hoping that World Boxing Federation champion Kreshnik Qato will grant him the opportunity, Knezevic now goes for the vacant WBFed Intercontinental middleweight title in his Vienna hometown on June 26. “I feel so strong now and I hope that winning this title will lead me to a world title chance,” says Knezevic.
The 30-year-old has already won the International titles of Austria and Serbia, although a division below at superwelterweight, but is now firmly established as a middle.
A second Intercontinental title will be contested on the same show when unbeaten Swiss-Albanian cruiserweight Sefer Seferi, a huge puncher with a 10-0 (9) record, meets experienced Adnan Buharalija, 21-8-2 (14) of Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Howard Goldberg, president of the World Boxing Federation, is planning to attend the show and fly in from his currently football (soccer) crazy home of Cape Town, South Africa.
