Will the Oktagon offer a world-class rematch? Tipsport Gamechanger winner Velickovic gets a challenge, can avenge defeat

No sooner had Bojan Velickovic won the Tipsport Gamechanger and reached the top of his career than he received a very interesting challenge. An unexpected one. To atone for his defeat, another star of the Oktagon. Leandro Silva. So there is literally a world rematch on the line.

At the end of 2023, Bojan Velickovic will make an indelible mark in the history of not only the Oktagon, but the entire European MMA. He became the first ever winner of the groundbreaking Tipsport Gamechanger project.

He also collected a prize of €300,000 and accumulated very valuable scalps during the tournament, when he successively eliminated Ion Surdu, Christian Jungwirth, David Kozma and Andreas Michailidis.

He is currently ranked 53rd in the Fight Matrix world rankings and has reached a career high, which until now has been 63rd. However, he is now planning a wedding and who knows what will happen next. He’s definitely in a position to ask for a title fight.

He will definitely have countless challengers as well. After all, he did receive one interesting challenge shortly after the start of 2024, one that could be interesting for him, at least considering it came from a man who has already beaten him once.

Will Bojan Velickovic accept an attractive challenge?

It was October 15, 2022, and Bojan Velickovic was in Frankfurt for a tough fight. His opponent was the popular, experienced and great Leandro Silva. Apollo is an excellent fighter. Maybe sometimes too lax, but he enjoys fighting, he enjoys big challenges.

And now, from Silva, an attractive challenge has arrived towards the Serbian sympathizer, along with congratulations. “I’m happy for you, you did a great job,” Apollo praises Velickovic on his Instagram.

Apollo straight away suggested possible dates as well. He would have liked February or March. However, it’s questionable whether Velickovic will want to fight that early. After all, he’s had enough fights in 2023 and it’s possible he’ll want to take some time off.
