It was announced today that heavyweights Alexander “Sascha“ Dimitrenko (29-1, 19 KOs) and Luan Krasniqi (30-4-1, 14 KOs) will meet in a highly charged rematch on November 8 at the König-Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany.
Alexander Dimitrenko: “I knocked out Luan in the first fight. This time I’ll try to do it again. I’m ready to go twelve hard rounds. I learned a lot from from loss to Chambers. There is a great Russian saying that I have lately often said to myself: That what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger. So the fans will see a better Dimitrenko than they saw against Chambers. I know what I did wrong in training and in the fight. I will not repeat these mistakes.”
Luan Krasniqi: “I am very happy about this rematch. I would like to win this time so badly. Dimitrenko is also coming off a defeat. I had to wait a year for him — now it’s all very exciting. In any event, this time the people will get to see more rounds – hopefully with Luan Krasniqi as the winner!”
