Elvir Muriqi from New York City has a record of 40-5 with 24 knockouts in his career. For the past ten years Muriqi earned his championship title as the Best Top Ten Fighters in the World. As a strong and talented boxer Muriqi has climbed to the top and his goal is to become a world champion.

“It’s been my goal since a little kid to become a world champion. When I was 10 years old I went to watch armature boxing in Gjakova and I saw Aziz Saliu surrounded by the crowd  cheering and applauding him. That day I  told myself I want to be a champion and be known.  I believe I have it in me that one day I will be the world champion,” said Elvir Muriqi.
