On October 12, the OKTAGON 62 will take place in Frankfurt, where a German MMA title is possible. Boxing icon Regina Halmich is also eagerly awaiting the event
An MMA event casts its shadow ahead. “It means a lot to me to get this title fight. I can promise one thing to all my fans: This fight will make history in Germany.” You can hardly announce a fight much bigger, you can hardly set your own bar much higher.
However, Kerim Engizek used exactly these words to announce his appearance at OKTAGON MMA 62, where he will face the reigning champion from the Czech Republic, Patrik Kincl, in a title fight. The special thing about it: 50,000 tickets have already gone on sale almost two months before the event!
According to a press release, it will be “the biggest event Europe has ever seen.” Boxing legend Regina Halmich, who is currently preparing for a fight against TV icon Stefan Raab, is also eagerly awaiting the event: “Germany has been waiting for these fights. It’s a huge opportunity for Kerim to bring the title to Germany. It will be a great fight in front of an impressive backdrop. “
OKTOAGON 62: Also duel for “King of GerMMAny ”
Engizek goes into the fight as a notorious knockout machine. In his 24 fights to date, the Düsseldorf-born fighter has won 20 times, a staggering 17 of them early. However, his opponent, who is two years older, is also aware of his strengths – and the appeal of the challenge.
“As a local fighter, Engizek will be driven forward by many fans. I expect him to be over-motivated and to fight at a fast pace. I don’t think our fight will go the full distance of five rounds, I could imagine the fight ending in the third or fourth round,” said the 35-year-old Kincl, who himself has a 28-10 record after 38 fights.
But it’s not just Engizek vs. Kincl that should electrify the Frankfurt crowd: The title “King of GerMMAny” will also be at stake. Christian Jungwirth will take on Christian Eckerlin in this fight. Max Coga and Arijan Topallaj will also take part in the event
