Jurgen Uldedaj (20-1, 8 KOs) has worked hard to earn his way to the top of the cruiserweight division. Currently, the 28-year-old Albanian-born boxer, who lives in Germany, is ranked #19 in the BoxRec world rankings.

In 21 professional fights, he has achieved 20 victories; his only defeat came in an otherwise not very noteworthy eight-round bout against Benoit Huber. This unnecessary defeat apparently marked a turning point in Uldedaj’s life.

Since leaving SES in 2021, he has fought almost all of his bouts in Great Britain, but has also boxed in Germany, Switzerland, and Dubai.

With strong victories over opponents such as Steven Ward, Damir Beljo, Edin Puhalo, and most recently Gerardo Mellado, Jurgen Uldedaj, who became WBC Youth World Champion in 2021, has worked his way back up.
