Arijan Goricki (13-1-1, 6 KOs) is coming from a unanimous win against Georgian Giorgi Gachechiladze at Hermann-Hepper-Halle, Tuebingen, Germany in October.
Goricki, 25, is set to fight at the Bilankusa Arena, Solin, Croatia, for the first time in his career as he looks to kickstart his journey with first title fight.
Luis Millan (21-5, 15 KOs) is an experienced boxer, as a professional he has 26 fights, 21 of which he won. He is extremely strong, as his record shows, in 21 victories, 15 of them did not reach the final bell. Like all boxers from South America, Millan has the heart and will to win, especially when he comes with a victory against an undefeated boxer in his backyard.
"On the same date, I was supposed to fight for the European title, but unfortunately the opponent's arcade broke and we had to move the fight to next year.
We sent over 15 generous offers, all the opponents we offered to fight refused, and some hesitated and in the end just took our time. Millan, as a last option, immediately accepted the fight." said Goricki. "I can't wait to get into the ring and show the world what I'm made of."
"Although the preparations are not finished yet, I think that these are one of the better ones and that on Saturday, December 17, I will show my full potential and show who I am. People who think I'm good, but now it's time to show how good I really am and ready for the titles and world ranking. After this fight, we would enter the top 15 boxers according to the IBO federation," said Goricki.
This is one of the biggest professional events in Croatia because apart from Goricki fight, there will be 9 more fights, one of them is Luka Plantić, who will fight for the WBC international silver belt against experienced veteran Khoren Gevor in the main fight of the evening.
“I would like to thank my team for preparing me well for this fight, I am ready for everything that Millan can offer and look impressive in the fight. I know that technically I am much superior to him, so I will not rush into unnecessary changes of strikes.
Thank you to my sponsors and friends who are with me and who always help me realize my dreams in this sport and rank on the world stage, and without whom this would not be possible." said Goricki.
