The highly anticipated heavyweight showdown in Unterschleißheim, Germany, will now feature German pugilist Granit Shala against Romanian contender Alexandru Jur. This last-minute adjustment sees Jur stepping in to replace the previously scheduled Ukrainian fighter, Bohdan Myronets, adding an unexpected twist to the fight card.
Alexandru Jur, a seasoned fighter at 40 years old, brings a record of 21 victories, 6 losses, and 8 knockouts to the ring. Notably, Jur competed for the European cruiserweight title in 2021 against Ireland's Tommy McCarthy. Granit Shala, a younger and formidable opponent at 28, holds a professional record of 17 wins and only one defeat, with 6 of his victories coming by knockout. His sole loss occurred in April 2024 during a challenge for the European heavyweight title, where he was stopped in the second round by Oleksandr Zakhozhyi, another Ukrainian. However, Shala has since bounced back with two consecutive wins, demonstrating his determination and skill.
The fight night, promoted by AK Promotion and Agon Sports, promises more thrilling action beyond the main event. Undefeated junior middleweight Sam Ahmeti, boasting a perfect record of 8 wins with 5 knockouts, is slated to face Alexander Moreno of Colombia, who holds an 8-2 record with 6 knockouts. Additionally, bridgerweight Leon Harth, an Armenian-born German fighter with a record of 22-6-1 (13 KOs), is also scheduled to compete, with his opponent yet to be officially confirmed. The card is set to deliver a diverse and exciting night for boxing enthusiast
