The vacant title will be contested between
Matteo Gubinelli (8-1, 5 KOs), fighting out of
Rome, and Omar Faruk (9-2, 8 KOs) from
Bangladesh.
Gubinelli (28) turned professional in 2021, and
has only lost to undefeated Polish prospect
Milosz Grabowski, in Poland, on his way to what
will be his first championship bout.
Also a pro since 2021 and taking part in his
first title fight, 33-year-old Faruk, nicknamed
“Silent Killer”, is boxing outside his native
country for the first time, and is planning to
make the most of the big opportunity.

This is a well-matched fight between two boxers
looking to take their careers to the next level,
and it looks like a genuine fifty-fifty pairing.
Gubinelli vs. Faruk for the vacant UBO
International Super Middleweight title will serve
as the main event of a show promoted by Societe
Internationalle Events Nappoleone.
