TAF 11: Morello vs Vukshinaj at Allianz Cloud Milan
The countdown is on for Saturday, November 8, 2025, when The Art of Fighting (TAF) returns with its 11th edition. The event will take place at the Allianz Cloud in Milan, with gates opening at 5:00 PM. TAF has quickly become a landmark for Italian boxing, combining top-level action with international ambition.
Looking Back: TAF 9 & TAF 10
Before TAF 11, it’s worth revisiting the journey that has brought Italian boxing fans to this point. TAF 9, held in May 2025 in Milan, saw Dario “Spartan” Morello dominate Yassin Hermi in the main event, consolidating his status among Europe’s top middleweights. The undercard confirmed TAF’s rising reputation, giving space to domestic talent and international matchups.
Then came TAF 10 in July 2025, also in Milan, where Mohamed El Maghraby outclassed Stiven Leonetti Dredhaj in a dominant performance. Other highlights included Amefiam’s devastating KO against Diouf, Paparo’s revenge win over Henchiri, and victories for Mantovani, Lizzi, Tosi, and Ionescu. These back-to-back events underlined TAF’s ambition to make Italy a hub for European boxing.
Main Event: Morello vs Vukshinaj
The spotlight of TAF 11 shines on the clash between Dario Morello and Faton Vukshinaj, with the prestigious EBU Silver Middleweight Title on the line.
For Morello, this is more than just another fight—it’s a chance to confirm his dominance on home soil after his TAF 9 victory. Known for his solid technique and disciplined approach, Morello has become a reference point for Italian boxing. Vukshinaj, however, is far from an underdog: with relentless pressure and the ambition to upset the favorite, he promises to make this one of the most intense fights of the year.
Co-Main Event: Jonathan Kogasso vs Brandon Deslaurier
Equally exciting is the co-main event between Jonathan Kogasso and France’s Brandon “Le Bombardier Gitan” Deslaurier. Kogasso arrives undefeated and eager to break into the European scene, while Deslaurier brings experience and toughness, having once gone the distance with world champion Mairis Briedis. Their contrasting styles—Kogasso’s reach and control against Deslaurier’s physicality and aggression—set the stage for a fascinating battle. Read more about this matchup.
