Career

[edit]

Limani, an Albanian Macedonian, emigrated to Germany and won the WKA German Championship in 1997. He then became the WKA's title holder at the European and intercontinental level before beating Chakuriki Gym fighter Rachid el Haddad for the world title on June 6, 2001, in Fulda, Germany.

He would then also win world titles under the lightly-regarded WTKL and WMAO organizations in 2003 and 2004, respectively.

He became a four-time world champion on October 14, 2006 when he defeated Fernado Calleros of the United States on points to take the ISKA World Welterweight (66.8 kg/147 lb) Freestyle Championship in Frankfurt, Germany.[1]
