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.
