Parlagi
(19-2, 10 KOs) is hoping to make it
third-time-lucky in a major title fight, after
losing decisions in WBO European and WBO
Inter-Continental challenges against Marco
McCullough and Ben Jones in the United Kingdom in
2014 and 2015.
Nicknamed
“Cracker”, the 28-year-old from Prague has been a
pro since 2011 and is coming off three decisive
victories since losing to Jones last October, and
this time he is hoping that fighting in his
home-country will help him succeed.
But he
will not be in for an easy ride against grizzled
and experienced campaigner Francis Miyeyusho
(41-14-3, 24 KOs). The Dar-Es-Salaam Southpaw
entered the paid ranks in 1998, and in 2011 he won
the UBO Inter-Continental Bantamweight title by
defeating former IBO World Champion Mbwana
Matumla.
He made
one successful defense of his UBO title, in
December 2012, and has since moved up in weight to
try to emulate the feat at Featherweight. Always
durable and dangerous, the 36-year-old has proven
in the past that even after fifty-eight fights he
can compete at a high level.
The
Parlagi vs. Miyeyusho UBO Inter-Continental title
fight will be the main event of a show that also
features a clash for the UBO Baltic Cruiserweight
title between undefeated compatriots Jakub Synek
(6-0-1) and Daniel Vencl (4-0).
