Johnathon Banks, 25-1-1 with 17 KOs, is rated #7 in the world by the WBC and #8 by the IBF. Banks won the NABF title in March 2010 with a dramatic 6th round KO of Travis Walker in the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf. This victory was voted KO of the year by the NABF and he has since defended the NABF title twice. Banks has built up a large fan base in Germany as his second home, and is one of the main training partners of IBF/WBO/IBO Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Banks is promoted by K2 Promotions and has fought a total of ten times on a Klitschko show, seven of these have been in Germany, two in the US and one in Switzerland. With this fight against Luan Krasniqi, he now is in the main event fight on RTL, the TV partner of the Klitschko brothers. This is a big opportunity for him to break out of the shadow of the Klitschko’s and show that he can indeed carry a main event fight against a world class opponent.

Luan Krasniqi has a fight record of 30-4-1 with 14 KOs. He was European Champion in 2002 and 2004 and WBO Intercontinental Champion in 2007. He had an outstanding amateur career and won the Olympic bronze medal in the 1996 games in Atlanta. In 2005, he challenged WBO Champion Lamon Brewster and was leading on all scorecards but lost in round 8 by TKO. Krasniqi is extremely popular in Germany and always draws many fans, both live in the arena and on television
