Loser Krasniqi rages and threatens legal action

NAfter his dethronement as world light heavyweight champion, Robin Krasniqi is considering legal action against the verdict. “It’s just very sad for German boxing. You could see that I could only win by knocking out. The whole world saw that I won. I feel ripped off, ”said Krasniqi on Sunday morning after his narrow point defeat against Dominic Bösel in Magdeburg.

The 34-year-old also addressed clear words to his promoter Ulf Steinforth: “In eleven years I have always thanked Ulf. But now I would like to clarify what kind of business it is. There is a lawyer. I want justice. “

“Draw the least”

For twelve rounds, Krasniqi and the new world champion Bösel had a gripping ring battle. In the end, only one of the three judges saw Krasniqi in front, which he did not understand. “As the title holder, a draw would be the least. Otherwise I have no idea about boxing, ”said Krasniqi. Boxing idol and ARD expert Henry Maske also said he saw more of a draw.

Promoter Steinforth took Krasniqi’s emotions calmly. “From a human point of view, the reaction is understandable. It was a wafer-thin thing, but Bösel had the edge, ”said the Magdeburg resident. Steinforth was also unimpressed by the threat of legal action. It is Krasniqi’s right to try. “But in the end the jury was known, there was a meeting, and nobody said anything against it.”

With the victory, Bösel not only regained the belt of the IBO and the interim World Championships of the WBA, but also saved his career. “If I had lost, my career would have come to an end,” emphasized the 31-year-old Freyburger. Therefore, it is a huge pressure that is falling. “I now need two or three weeks to process that mentally.” Almost to the day exactly a year ago, Bösel was knocked out against Krasniqi in the third round.
