Ermal Hadribeaj recent form

Hadribeaj (23-0-1, 8 KOs) is an unknown quantity, with the only blemish on his record being a draw against Javonn Davis back in 2019. Earlier this year, “The Albanian Sniper” recorded a career-best win, defeating Bakary Samake by unanimous decision, with scorecards of 115-113 x2 and 116-112. That victory gave him the WBC silver belt and positioned him to be the mandatory challenger to Fundora.

Before that, he outpointed Placido Ramirez and stopped Ilhami Aydemir.

The Big Fight Weekend verdict: Sebastian Fundora vs Ermal Hadribeaj

Despite his 6-foot-5½ frame, Fundora has shown an exceptional ability to fight on the inside and outwork his opponents. However, in more recent fights, he has shown an ability to fight long and use his 80-inch reach, and dictate the distance and tempo.

Showcasing his ability to fight on the inside or long, only makes “The Towering Inferno” even tougher to face.

Hadribeaj doesn’t waste anything in the ring. He picks his punches with precision, while using his slick lateral movement to make angles for him to attack.

The Albanian rarely looks flustered when he fights, but we see Fundora keeping it long in the first few rounds until he sees what Hadribeaj has to offer. We then see Fundora walking the Albanian fighter down and unloading vicious flurries, stopping the challenger between rounds 5 and 8.
