Bösel had secured the interim World Cup in November 2019 against Swede Sven Fornling, but has not played a fight since due to the corona pandemic. At first, nothing of the rust on the ring was visible, although Krasniqi was active from the beginning. After a balanced opening phase, the Kosovo native delivered the decisive blow to victory in the third round with a right hand.
