New York, NY (April 3, 2019) - This past Saturday night in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, popular New York fighter, "The Bosnian Prince" Armin Mrkanovic scored the biggest win of his career as he stopped Dominican native Wilmer Mejia in the 4th round of their cruiserweight bout to capture the WBA Fedecaribe title.
Mrkanovic dominated the action by landing power punches throughout the contest. Armin was able to control the action in Mejia's back yard. Mejia claimed that he broke his hand, and never answered the bell to start round four.

I look forward to what is ahead for me," said Mrkanovic.
