Success as an amateur

Krstacic was multiple Franconian champion and national champion, he boxed in the 1st Bundesliga for Eichstätt and Straubing.

His amateur career began in 2002 and ended in 2008 after a traffic accident in which his meniscus , internal , external and cruciate ligaments tore.

Professional career

In 2010 and 2011 he won all five fights early. In March 2012 he was after winning a title fight of the German Boxing Association champion in the cruiserweight division .

He defended this title in 2013 and 2014. In 2016 he won after disqualification of Georgen Giorgi Tevdorashvili in the 12th round in the fight for the cruiserweight championship title of the IBO .
