Lom-Ali Eskiev: the champion's record and how he wins
Eskiev, who fights out of Germany, is 24-7-0 with one no contest in our database. Of his 24 wins, 13 came by knockout or TKO, 3 by submission and 8 by decision, so two thirds of his wins are finishes. He is the FNC lightweight champion.
His most recent fight was a first-round knockout of Francisco Barrio in a title fight at FNC 27 on 7 February 2026. Barrio had beaten him on points in a title fight at FNC 24 in September 2025. Before that, Eskiev won twice in OKTAGON: a second-round TKO of Wanderley Junior at OKTAGON 66 and a first-round TKO of Ivan Buchinger at OKTAGON 60.
Marko Bojkovic: the challenger's path and finishing rate
Bojkovic, from Serbia, is the number 2 lightweight in FNC's rankings in our data. Our database has his record at 11-2-0: 5 wins by KO or TKO, 3 by submission and 3 by decision, a finishing rate of about 73 percent. FNC's event page, RTL and net.hr list him at 10-2, so the record is quoted differently depending on the source.
He lost twice in 2025: by TKO in round 2 to Milos Janicic at FNC 23 in Belgrade in May, and on points to Donovan Desmae at FNC 25 in November. In 2026 he has won both fights: a third-round TKO of Ivan Vulchyn at FNC 28 in February and a decision over Piotr Niedzielski at FNC 31 in May. Net.hr describes the title fight as a chance at the biggest win of his career.
How the styles match up
On paper, both men have power. Eskiev has the larger body of work and the higher knockout total, and his last title win ended in the first round. Bojkovic has the slightly higher finishing rate on a smaller sample and arrives with two straight wins after the 2025 setbacks. Neither of the sources we read gives a detailed breakdown of the matchup, so the fight itself will answer the questions about range, grappling and pace.
The rest of the card
According to FNC, the main card also includes Toshe Cvetkov vs. Miljan Rovcanin in a 101 kg Ultimate Boxing bout. Cvetkov, from North Macedonia, is listed at 2-0, while Rovcanin, from Serbia, is listed at 0-0.
