MTK Global unveils MTK Croatia gym

PhilBoxing.com


MTK Global is delighted to announce the launch of MTK Croatia - a new state-of-the-art boxing gym based in Zagreb.

Last year MTK Global entered an advisory agreement with the Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation which saw the two boxing forces working together, with this big move now the next step in the exciting partnership.

The gym will be ran by former WBA Intercontinental champion and WBA world title challenger Stjepan Bozic, and the chief instructor will be Slobodan Andelic, who is one of the best trainers to emerge from the region.

Andelic previously trained a list of elite fighters, including former WBC lightweight champion Dejan Zlaticanin. Former heavyweight contender Mario Preskar will also assist with training, who retired undefeated in his professional career.

Boxing in Croatia has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and the Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation are thrilled with the new venture.

Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation Secretary General Harry Gorian said: "Despite the hard times for professional combat sports, the HSPBS (Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation) is delighted to announce the opening of the first MTK Global gym in South-East Europe.

"It means that professional boxers, along with the best amateur boxers in Croatia, will have the chance to improve their skills under the guidance of the biggest management agency in the world.

"The gym in Zagreb will also have their own gym branch in Ljubljana in Slovenia, so boxers from that region will also be able to benefit.

"HSPBS will now look to establish a regular series of boxing events, which will be the platform to present the boxers to the world. Once again I must say a big thank you to the MTK Global team for this opportunity, and we are excited to show what we can do."

MTK Global Commercial Director Jack Johnstone added: "We're pleased to announce the launch of the MTK Croatia gym in Zagreb. We've already had a fantastic partnership with the Croatia Professional Boxing Sports Federation over the last few months, and now we have the chance to take things to the next level.

"The launch of this gym will allow boxers from Croatia and beyond to use some wonderful facilities to develop their boxing skills, and we're confident that we can help to unearth the next massive boxing star from the region."

The launch of MTK Croatia means MTK Global has now expanded to an incredible 26 locations worldwide, following the unveiling of MTK Gloucestershire, MTK Costa Blanca, MTK Marseille, MTK Worcestershire, MTK Fuerteventura, MTK Alberta, MTK Leeds, MTK Miami, MTK Lake District, MTK Munich, MTK Denmark (based in Aarhus) and MTK Costa Brava over the past year.

They join strongholds in Osaka, Japan; Tenerife, Spain; London, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Scotland, United Kingdom; Johannesburg, South Africa; Santa Catarina, Brazil; Sydney, Australia; Almaty, Kazakhstan; Tucson, Arizona, USA and Dubai, UAE.
