Ilias Kraffi: A Talented and Humble Champion Ready to Defend His Title !
On November 16 in Strasbourg, Ilias Kraffi, a fighter of exceptional skill and quiet determination, will defend his WKN title. Kraffi first claimed this title in a memorable bout against Spain’s Oteo, where he displayed his superior technique and unshakeable calm to secure a decisive victory.
This time, Kraffi steps back into the ring at Ultimate 7, an event organized by his respected trainer, Steve Valente, to face a formidable Latvian challenger known for his strength and resilience. Should Kraffi emerge victorious, the WKN could grant him a shot at the world championship—a career-defining opportunity.
However, his path will not be easy, as Kraffi’s opponent Cherkesov is a relentless fighter from the legendary Zaur Dzhavadov school. Dzhavadov, a multi-time WKN champion, has a reputation for producing fierce, disciplined competitors, and Cherkesov is no exception.
For Kraffi, this match represents both a crucial title defense and a chance to earn his place among the world’s elite. With his trademark composure and technical prowess, he’s prepared to rise to the challenge in pursuit of greatness.
