Injuries have come to plague another big Desert Force card in 2016. The promotion officially announced today that Paolo Enrique will step in to face Ghorabi’s initial opponent, Ange Lossa who has suffered a broken nose.
The fight will still take part of the Desert Force 23 main card on Monday May 30, 2016 at the Ghazir Stadium in Lebanon.
Mohammad Ghorabi holds 4 victories on his record, and has defeated the likes of Ibrahim Elsawi (KO) and Bechir Majri (TKO), with his latest win coming against Youness Mikkis at Desert Force 18 (TKO). In his latest appearance, Ghorabi fell short to a tough new-comer, David Bear, losing via submission in the second round.
Paolo Enrique (5-4) made his promotion debut at Desert force in January’s Desert Force 20 where he defeated Othman Najae Via TKO round 1. He then mobed on to defeate Iraq’s Hussein Fakher at Desert Force 22. Henrique enters this fight riding a three win streak as he faces Mohamed Ghorabi in Lebanon.
This will be a true test for Paolo, as he surely out experienced his previous 2 opponents. This time he will stand and stare across the cage at the man known as “The Killer”!
The main event of Desert Force 23 fight card will feature Mohammad Karaki defend his title for the first time against Yacine Bandaoui. The co-main event will see an interim title defense bout between current holder Mohammad Fakhreddine versus Aniss Al Hajjajy.
