Another WKF PRO-AM European title fight has been confirmed on the fight card!
Cesar ZIDARESCU, ranked No. 12 in the world in the light middleweight -71 kg division, comes from the renowned Tai Shin Do Gym in Bucharest. He is one of the best Romanian fighters in this weight class and will certainly be a big and real challenge for the Austrian fighter, Felix ELLMAIER.
