MTK Global set up new base in Zagreb
MTK Global have announced the launch of MTK Croatia - a new state-of-the-art boxing gym based in Zagreb.
Last year MTK Global entered an advisory agreement with the Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation which saw the two boxing forces working together, with this big move now the next step in the exciting partnership.
The gym will be ran by former WBA Intercontinental champion and WBA world title challenger Stjepan Bozic, and the chief instructor will be Slobodan Andelic, who is one of the best trainers to emerge from the region.
Andelic previously trained a list of elite fighters, including former WBC lightweight champion Dejan Zlaticanin. Former heavyweight contender Mario Preskar will also assist with training, who retired undefeated in his professional career.
Boxing in Croatia has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and the Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation are thrilled with the new venture.
Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation Secretary General Harry Gorian said: "Despite the hard times for professional combat sports, the HSPBS (Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation) is delighted to announce the opening of the first MTK Global gym in South-East Europe.
"It means that professional boxers, along with the best amateur boxers in Croatia, will have the chance to improve their skills under the guidance of the biggest management agency in the world.
"The gym in Zagreb will also have their own gym branch in Ljubljana in Slovenia, so boxers from that region will also be able to benefit.
"HSPBS will now look to establish a regular series of boxing events, which will be the platform to present the boxers to the world. Once again I must say a big thank you to the MTK Global team for this opportunity, and we are excited to show what we can do."
