Demaj
(2-0, 1 KO) is of Albanian decent, while Grguric
(3-0, 2 KOs) has roots in Croatia, but both are
based in Germany. With both having a sizable
following, the atmosphere is expected to be loud
and lively at the Mehrzwekhalle.
The fight
headlines a show with five professional fights,
promoted by Krasniqi
Event in conjunction with
Andreas Weiss, arranged to commemorate the
one-hundred year anniversary of local football
club SV Kork.
Nicknamed
“Demolition”, 28-year-old Christian Demaj from
Lahr, a short drive from Kehl, is on a
fast-track after turning professional only last
December.

The
eleven-time Albanian amateur champion
participated in European and World
championships, and fought for the Mexico
Guerreros in the semi-professional World Series
of Boxing.
So, while
Demaj has one less pro bout and is a year
younger than Grguric (29), he is the more
experienced and accomplished guy. The man
fighting out of Leverkusen is no slouch, but
Demaj must take the role of favorite.
