Looks like the fearsome Arnold `dave` Gjerjaj is out.
The 6ft9 EBU hw champ Zakhozhyi has searched the whole of Europe and now makes his first defence against the cruiserweight Xhoxhaj.
Someone's `0` could go.....but does it matter ?

Re: EBU title change of opponent - Oleksandr Zakhozhyi v Labinot Xhoxhaj
Take away the belt and you have two 31 year old 19-0 guys risking their 0 against each other while not at world level and not for a tonne of money which isn't too bad in my opinion. There is just a lot less interest in the EBU belt now compared to before.
Hopefully the winner gets a better opponent. For what it's worth, Labinot Xhoxhaj is not even ranked in the top 47 by the EBU. Surely any eligible opponent not named Usyk, Dubois, Tyson Fury, Joshua and Kabayel should be interested.

A Kosovan cruiserweight with a completely padded record, coming in on super late notice. Hmmm.
Not seen him but his brother is decent though, his bro gave Billam-Smith a good fight
