Luka Pratljačić prepares for European Boxing Championships

Osijek super heavyweight boxer Luka Pratljačić is preparing to compete in the European Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. Pratljačić recently spent four weeks in Big Bear Lake, California, serving as a sparring partner for Filip Hrgović. During this camp, Pratljačić simulated the style of Moses Itauma to help Hrgović prepare for his match, which resulted in a ninth-round knockout victory for Hrgović at London's O2 Arena.

Pratljačić is now transitioning back to amateur boxing to defend the bronze medal he won two years ago at the European Championships in Belgrade. He reported that he has completed sparring sessions with various amateur boxers from different countries to prepare for his upcoming opponents and remains in high physical condition without health issues.
