Ermal Hadribeaj, the pride of Albanian boxing, showcased his brilliance once more on December 12, 2024, at the Grand Elysee in Hamburg, Germany. In his second title defense, Hadribeaj retained his WBC International Super Welterweight Title by defeating Venezuela’s Eddy Colmenares via unanimous decision after a hard-fought 10-round battle. This victory marks his third reign as champion and further solidifies his undefeated record, now standing at 20-0-1 (7 KOs).

The 31-year-old “Sniper” from Tirana outmaneuvered his younger, taller opponent, relying on precise strikes and excellent defense to control the bout. Colmenares, known as “El Terrible,” put up a valiant fight but couldn’t break through Hadribeaj’s tactical dominance. Weighing in at 152.8 lbs and standing 5’11”, Hadribeaj once again proved why he’s ranked 10th in his division by the WBC, earning praise from boxing fans worldwide.
