Boxer Florian Marku faces potential five-year sentence after arrest in Germany

Boxer Florian Marku was arrested in Germany and extradited to Greece for a seven-year-old incident involving wounding and illegal weapon possession. He previously served 18 months in prison for the case, which is now under appeal. Marku, 32, could face up to five additional years in jail due to changes in Greek law requiring him to serve at least one-third of his original sentence. His family has been informed he may only need to serve around six more months. The incident reportedly stemmed from a bar fight in Thessaloniki. Marku, who has a professional boxing record of 13-1-1, won the IBF International welterweight title in 2021. His arrest raises questions about his boxing career.
