Kickboxing career

edit

In December 2019, Ciric fought under the banner of the Fighters Glory promotion, where he faced the WMO champion Samih Mimouni.[5] Ciric won the fight by a second-round knockout.[6]

At Enfusion 83, Ciric fought Vladimír Moravčík for the Enfusion -80 kg title. He defeated Moravčík by a fourth-round TKO.[7] Ciric fought three more non-title bouts in 2019, scoring knockouts of Mbamba Cauwenbergh, Giuseppe De Domenico and Samih Mimouni.[8][9]

He was scheduled to fight Jeroen van Diemen on September 19 in a non-title fight and will defend his 80 kg title against Mohammed Ghaedibardeh in November 2020.[10] Ghaedibardeh was unable to travel due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and was replaced by Lofti Amri.[11] He defeated Jeroen van Diemen by unanimous decision.[12] His planned title defense was postponed because of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]

Ciric was scheduled for a welterweight bout against Florin Lambagiu on December 15, 2021, at Dynamite Fighting Show 13: Night of Champions.[14] However, the fight was cancelled two weeks before taking place as Ciric tested positive for COVID-19.

Ciric faced Arbi Emiev at Fair Fight XVI on February 12, 2022. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[15] Ciric was next booked to face Mohamed Touchassie for the vacant Enfusion Welterweight World Championship at Enfusion 109 on June 18, 2022.[16] He lost the fight by decision.[17]

Ciric was expected to face Endy Semeleer in the main event of Glory Rivals 2 on September 17, 2022.[18] He withdrew from the fight in August 29, after testing positive for COVID-19.[19]

Ciric faced Jay Overmeer at Glory Rivals 3 on November 5, 2022.[20] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[21]
