Biography
Ermal Hadribeaj (born December 12, 1993) is an Albanian-American professional boxer from Tirana, Albania. Standing 5-foot-9 and fighting from a southpaw stance, Hadribeaj has competed primarily in the super welterweight division. Before focusing on boxing, he also competed professionally in mixed martial arts.
Hadribeaj fought in MMA from 2016 to 2019, representing Albania at IMMAF European and World Championship events before finishing his professional MMA career with four victories in five bouts. He then transitioned fully to boxing and made his professional debut in September 2019 with a unanimous-decision victory over Darius Bagley.
In September 2021, Hadribeaj defeated Thodoris Ritzakis to win the WBC Mediterranean super welterweight title. He added the NABF super welterweight championship in February 2022 with a decision victory over Daniel Baiz and successfully defended it against Sidney da Rosa Manuel.
Hadribeaj captured the vacant WBC International super welterweight title in November 2022 by defeating Daniel Buciuc. He went on to defend the belt against Leonardo Di Stefano Ruiz, Sumbu Nsasi, former IBF world champion Carlos Molina, Bohdan Shtonda, Younes Zarraa, Eddy Colmenares, Ilhami Aydemir and Placido Ramirez. His ninth-round stoppage of Molina in November 2023 became one of the notable victories of his career.
In May 2026, Hadribeaj defeated Bakary Samaké by unanimous decision over 12 rounds in Oberhausen, Germany. The victory earned him the WBC Silver super welterweight title and marked another major step in a professional career that has included championship wins across Europe, the United States and the Middle East.
