On Saturday, Ardian Krasniqi secured a first-round knockout to claim the WBO Intercontinental title at the MHP Arena in Ludwigsburg. The event, organized by PrimeTime Promotion, marked the debut of the new boxing promotion company and was broadcast live on DAZN.
Krasniqi, the nephew of former heavyweight boxer Luan Krasniqi, entered the fight with a perfect 10-0 record. His opponent, Saul Ivan Male from Uganda, arrived overweight for the fight but still competed. The bout ended quickly, with Krasniqi delivering a knockout blow late in the first round.
This victory adds to Krasniqi’s growing reputation as a powerful puncher and marks a significant step in his international career. The event took place 19 years after Luan Krasniqi’s famous fight for the WBO heavyweight title, symbolizing a new era for the Krasniqi family in the boxing world.
