Stivens Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 KOs) fighting out of Yonkers, NY by way of Kelmend, Albania, meets Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 KOs) born in Ungheni, Moldova and now fighting out of Catskill, NY, for the vacant WBC International and Continental Americas cruiserweight titles on Friday, November 4th in a televised ShoBox feature attraction at the Omega Center in Corona, California.

Bujaj, a former two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, previously held the NYS cruiserweight and US WBC titles.

In May of 2014 Bujaj battled unbeaten Junior Wright to a draw in another attempt to win the then vacant WBC International cruiserweight crown. Bujaj suffered a broken jaw in that match and, subsequently, underwent shoulder surgery that resulted in laying off all of 2015.

Bujaj has won four consecutive bouts since the draw and now, 28 months later, he will; once again, attempt to wrest the WBC International cruiserweight title – with the Continental Americas Crown added in for good measure.

“This is the most important bout of my life” said Bujaj, from his Las Vegas training camp. “The two titles, the world rating, a television appearance, the match is promoted by Banner Promotions and telecast by ShoBox – are all on the line. My career begins or ends right here!”

Bujaj added, “It has taken me two years of sacrifice to get back to where I was – this is all or nothing!”

Bejeneru is also unbeaten and will be facing the toughest test of his career as well. A tough, hard fighting southpaw he hopes to use Bujaj as a stepping stone to the world rankings.
