In brief

Aleks Petrovic beat Yasin Cilingir by unanimous 3:0 points decision in a super heavyweight title rematch at Fame Fighting 4, held October 17, 2026, at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany. The bout settled a score from a year earlier, when their first meeting ended early after Cilingir dislocated his shoulder.

Aleks Petrovic retained his super heavyweight title at Fame Fighting 4, defeating Yasin Cilingir on a unanimous 3:0 points decision. The rematch, both fighters aged 35, took place on October 17, 2026, at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany, according to spox.com, tvmovie.de and promiflash.de.

A rematch a year in the making

Petrovic and Cilingir had faced each other once before, in a bout that ended prematurely the previous year after Cilingir dislocated his shoulder and could not continue, according to promiflash.de and spox.com. The October 17 card was billed as a rematch to settle that unfinished contest.

How the fight played out

According to promiflash.de, Cilingir came out aggressively in the first round, but Petrovic was described as the technically cleaner boxer and landed the harder punches. Both fighters appeared fatigued in the following rounds while still exchanging shots. Cilingir picked up his attack again in round four, landing several left-hand punches, but by the final round neither fighter had the energy left for precise, powerful strikes. All three ringside judges scored the bout for Petrovic.

Confrontation at the press conference

The build-up to the fight included a heated exchange at the pre-event press conference. Promiflash.de reported that Cilingir displayed a photo showing Petrovic's car vandalized with offensive graffiti; after initially doubting the photo was genuine, Petrovic was told by security that the vandalism was real, and both men jumped up from their seats. Security staff, along with fellow fighter Gigi Birofio, stepped in to prevent the confrontation from turning physical, promiflash.de reported.

The rest of the card

Fame Fighting 4 featured nine bouts in total, mixing reality-television personalities and influencers known from German shows such as Ex on the Beach and Temptation Island, spox.com reported. In the night's final bout, Laurenz Pesch beat Gigi Birofio by knockout via a liver punch, according to tvmovie.de.
