According to the tournament format, the title is awarded to the fighter who wins three bouts in a single day. Koprivlenski, aged 31, began the day with a decisive victory. He defeated Thai fighter Hercules Fetsimean by unanimous decision after three rounds.
However, in his second match against the Dutch fighter Darryl Verdonk, Koprivlenski dominated the first two rounds, only to be defeated in the third after being knocked down twice.
