Having won the title in May this year, Kash Ali looks to defend his IBF European Heavyweight Champion belt for the first time, against Roman Gorst this month.
The 29 year old, originally from Birmingham but now residing in Rotherham, made his debut on 26 November 2011. He defeated Czech Tomas Salek to win his first match after three rounds and has had an impressive career since then. His boxing record of 19-1 with 10 knockouts is enough to intimidate many potential rivals and Kash will be looking to prove his talent in this fight.
However, Kash’s road to winning the belt has not been plain sailing. He was disqualified in 2019 for biting his opponent, David Price during their fight at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena.
For this match, the heavyweight boxer will need to keep calm under the undoubtedly mounting pressure on him to keep his title.
His opponent, Roman Gorst, first went pro in 2018. Currently at 32 years old, the German boxer from Passau, Bayern, also holds an admirable boxing record of 7-1 with 6 knockouts. The German shouldn’t be underestimated in this fight.
The fight will take place at Ponds Forge in Sheffield on 18 September and should be an exciting watch for boxing fans who can also watch it on the boxing channel, Fightzone.
