EU’s Kolaj faces Adamek

By Per-Ake Persson

EU lightheavy champ [Orial Kolaj] will defend the title July 19 in Rome against Czech [Tomas Adamek], 18-6-1 and not to be confused with [Tomasz Adamek], the Polish heavyweight.

Kolaj, 9-5, from Albania and with a huge Albanian flag tattooed on his back, turned pro in 2008 and appeared to be heading for career as a tough journeyman with losses on the road to the likes of Dustin Dirks, Robert Woge and Dario Cichello but during 2011-12 it all changed and he beat Danilo D´Agata to win the Italian title and then got revenge over Cichello to win the EU title.
