The information portal "Kosova Sot" published yesterday (August 7) a photo showing boxer Robin Haxhi Krasniqi. Krasniqi's image contains the caption "Haxhi Krasniqi: I am proud of this victory, mine and yours too."
The boxer's statement was taken from his post on the social network Facebook, after the fight held on Saturday (July 5) against French boxer, Nadjib Muhammed, at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium in Pristina.
While in the description section of the post, another statement has been added to Krasniqi's statement presented as a caption on the image: "I made the boxer Muhammad for five bucks.".
However, after verifying the facts by hibrid.info, neither in Haxhi Krasniqi's post nor in the link that accompanied the image, do we find Krasniqi's alleged statement stating that he made his opponent pay.

Hibrid.info, after research, has confirmed that the article that accompanied the image published on Facebook was based on the statement of boxer Haxhi Krasniqi on Facebook. (see here)
Krasniqi's statement on Facebook:
"Thank you, my people, thank you, Pristina, thank you, Kosovo, for all your support."
I am very excited and happy, firstly from the realization of my dream of boxing in front of you, and even more so with tonight's victory, mine and yours as well.
I thank every team and person engaged in this mega project of mine.
Yours, Robin Krasniqi"
In this article, the additional statement claimed in the description of the image, when it is said that Krasniqi declared that he had made the opponent for five pare, was not found. (see here)
Also, in Krasniqi's Facebook post yesterday titled "Reaction from Robin Krasniqi to the "Experts" of boxing on social networks and to the commentators of the duel", no similar statements were found. (see here)
Analyze:
Based on the fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the portal "Kosova-sot.info" on its Facebook page falsely claimed that boxer Haxhi Krasniqi declared that he had beaten his opponent for five bucks in the fight held on Saturday night.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this post by "Kosova Sot" as "Disinformation".
