XXIst Century Gladiators
Kings of the Ring Preview
"Mission Impossible"

June 4,
2005
Dom Sportova
Zagreb, Croatia
The biggest and most important combat sports show ever done in Croatia and
for sure one of the biggest
this year in Europe. All
profit from the show goes to children who lost everything during last war
in Croatia.
MAIN FIGHT OF THE EVENING:
WBF World Super Middleweight
Pro Boxing Title Bout - 12 Rounds (3 minutes each round) - vacant title

The World Boxing Foundation (former World Boxing Federation ) with its
head office in Melbourne (Australia),
has succeeded thanks to the
image and credibility to establish its high position - 6th (behind the WBC,
WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO) in the
world among 31 actually registered and active world boxing sanctioning
bodies. Some of great boxers
like Audley Harrison (GB), Johnny Nelson (GB), Roy Jones
(USA),
Antonio Tarver
(USA) when he beat Roy Jones by KO, Thulane Malinga (RSA), Mads
Larsen (DEN),
Robin Reid (GB),
Shannon Taylor (AUS) and others fought for this title. Present
President, Mr. Mick
Coucher is working very
hard in order to bring more image to his organization and one of those
efforts will
happen in Zagreb (Croatia) on
the 4th of June, 2005.
