Pavel Dailidko called for a shot at the Brave CF heavyweight title, and he has just been granted his wish.
Lithuania’s Dailidko knocked out Valdrin Istrefi at Brave CF 81 in Ljubljana, Slovenia last weekend, and immediately called for the opportunity to fight for the inaugural Brave CF heavyweight title.
Following Dailidko’s impressive victory, Brave CF president Mohammed Shahid paid tribute to “The Experiment’s” performance, and confirmed that he had done enough to earn a shot at the title in the coming months.

“Pavel did exactly what he needed to do – prove to everyone he is undeniable for a title shot,” said Shahid.
“He put on a great performance against a tough fighter in Istrefi, who has double the amount of his experience.
“I can confirm he is fighting for the inaugural Brave CF heavyweight world title in his next fight, and I am excited to see him in action again.”
The identity of Dailidko’s title fight opponent is still to be decided, but the 32-year-old will be determined to go through whoever the promotion puts in front of him as he bids to become the first heavyweight champion in Brave CF history.
