Serbian Steel’s Ascent in European Welterweight Ranks
Bojan Veličković enters the cage as a 36-year-old veteran carrying a 25-12-2 record and the nickname Serbian Steel. The six-foot athlete hails from Novi Sad, Serbia, where he sharpens his skills at the Easton Training Center. A fixture in regional circuits, Veličković has built his résumé through relentless work and a willingness to face familiar foes on home turf and abroad.
Ranked eighth among Europe’s welterweights, Veličković also holds positions in four sub-regions—Eastern Europe, Western Europe, the Czech Republic and Germany—criteria that reflect his consistency in each area. Only fighters who have competed at least twice in six recent bouts appear in those lists. Veličković’s standing at welterweight stems from his last two outings in the 170-pound division, underscoring a clear focus on one weight class as he eyes further climbs in the continental rankings.
