Did middleweighter Kreshnick Qato beat heavywighter Peter Haymer ?
Hi,
My name is Erion Mati. I am a journalist from Montenegro and currently I am making research on boxer Kreshnick Qato from Albania.
In Albanian TV and various media it has been reported that European and World Champion in Super middleweight,Kreshnick Qato beat UK heavyweight boxer Peter Haymer. I found this claim very strange.
On boxrec.com I found that Cato's World Rank is #70 in Super Middleweight while Haymer is ranked #44 in the world in Light Heavyweight.
I have searched a lot to find a confirmation of this fight.
Here is one of many available links online referring to this fight: http://www.albanianmail.co.uk/sofra/...&start_from=10
Here is the relevant quote from this article in Albanian:
Quote:
"Destiny", revista britanike përshkruan Qaton ....Qato zë vendin kryesor, pasi përshkruhet gjerë e gjatë karriera e tij nga gazetari i mirënjohur anglez Joe Pyle. ''Qato është boksieri më i madh shqiptar i të gjitha kohërave që ka luajtur për Shqipërinë. Teknik dhe inteligjent, me një goditje të vecantë, ai është simbol i boksit shqiptar''. ... ''Shqiptari mundi keqazi dy vjet më parë boksierin e peshës së rëndë Peter Haymer. Nga ai mund të presësh gjithshka''- thotë gazetari britanik
Translation into English : British magazine Destiny describes Qato. ... Qato is the main attraction, and his career is explained by the well-known English journalist Joe Pyle. "Qato is the greatest Albanian boxers of all time fighting for Albania. Technical and intelligent, with an exceptional punch, he is the symbol of Albanian boxing. ... " The Albanian beat in a degrading way two years ago heavyweight boxer Peter Raymer. From him I can expect everything" - the British journalist says.
The article is posted online 14th of June 2005. This means the supposed fight has taken place in 2003.
What is Destiny, I can't find anything online. And how come I come in touch with Joe Pyle I would like to have confirmed from him.
Please post if you know anything or would like to comment.

No he didnt Erion.
Above is his record.
Maybe he sparred with him? but sparring does not mean anything.

What is your Qato obession?
Top British & commonweath fighters like Jamie moore, Carl Froch & Mathew Macklin aint making £70K a fight - so how anyone could pay the pile of sh*t Qato 'Millions of pounds' to fight here is bull crap my friend.
Mick Hennsesy sells the rights to his fights to Albania for 2 goats & a free hair cut - and gives Qato 50 tickets half price to sell for himself.
