Haris Aksalic, the Slovenian national boxing champion, is set to make his professional MMA debut at BRAVE CF 77 on December 5, 2023, at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain. Similar to that of the MMA and professional wrestling superstar, Brock Lesnar, the Slovenian giant was unable to fit in standard XXL and XXXL gloves forcing the organization to custom-make XXXXL gloves for the super athlete.
His fight in Bahrain triggered national interest across Slovenia making celebrities, athletes, and race car drivers take a flight to the Kingdom of Bahrain to watch the debut of the absolute beast who will take on Eid Amer, the Egyptian K1 and Kickboxing Champion, who boasts an impressive record of 21 stoppage wins in Kickboxing. Aksalic, a formidable heavyweight competitor known for his brute strength and striking prowess, is often compared to boxing legend Mike Tyson, earning him the nickname “White Tyson.”
BRAVE CF 77, featuring a captivating mix of established superstars and rising prospects, will showcase athletes from 10 nations, including Kyrgyzstan, Brazil, Poland, Russia, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Tajikistan, and Slovenia. Two world titles will be defended during the event, with the main event featuring the lightweight championship clash between the reigning champion, Abdisalam Uulu Kubanychbek from Kyrgyzstan, and the formidable Lucas Martins from Brazil. The co-main event will feature the super welterweight world championship fight between the reigning champion Marcin Bandel and Kamal Magomedov.
Five of the 12 fighters added to the show hold undefeated BRAVE CF records: Abdisalam Kubanychbek, Marcin Bandel, Kamal Magomedov, Maysara Mohamed, and Vitaliy Yakimenko. With 70% of the fighters on impressive win streaks, BRAVE CF 77 marks the 8th time in the promotion’s history that two or more world titles will be on the line during the same event.
