Light heavyweight veterans Robin Krasniqi (52-7) and Nadjib Mohammedi (45-9) are set to collide on August 5 in Pristina, Kosova, with the vacant WBC Silver title at stake.
Krasniqi is now trained by former world champ Juergen Braehmer and is on the comeback trail after losing to Dominic Boesel in 2021.
Mohammedi has won four of his last five, with a bounce back win in December after suffering a stoppage loss to top contender Christian Mbilli.

The fight for the EBU super welterweight title between champ Milan Prat (19-0) and official challenger Abass Baraou (13-1) will go ahead on October 7 in Laval (France).
The fight has however been postponed a couple of times already, first due to an injury suffered by Baraou, then Wasserman Sports were unable to stage the fight and now it’s Europrom, the second highest bidder in the purse bids, that will promote the fight and hopefully get it on.
