Obviously I will fight Sebastian from the inside, using a strategy and a style he isn\u2019t familiar with. This is going to be trouble for him. My nickname of sniper came from a friend, who saw my punch selection and precision. I don\u2019t throw empty punches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my most recent fight to become Mandatory Challenger I made Bakary Samanke miss a lot and I think he got very frustrated. This Silver WBC Belt\u00a0 means so much to me. Being an Absolute World Champion is my next goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ermal\u2019s Promoter Ahmet \u00d6ner said: \u201cErmal is not a classic boxer. He also avoids punches, he\u2019s skilled and clever. Fundora is a good champion with height and reach, but he\u2019s breakable. So how will Fundora deal with Ermal\u2019s skills and cleverness?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur job is to get some tall, good, quick and fast\u00a0 sparring partners. We have to, and we will level up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_185704\" class=\"pvc_stats all  pvc_load_by_ajax_update\" data-element-id=\"185704\" style=\"\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764343693_289_ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ermal Hadribeaj determined to master Alchemy Ermal Hadribeaj, who was presented with the WBC Silver super welterweight belt&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":726334,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-726333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/726334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
