Professional career.
Krasniqi made his professional debut on 20 October 2005, losing to Sven Haselhuhn in a four-round points decision. In his third fight, on 5 January 2006, he lost another four-round decision to Adrian Cerneaga. Krasniqi would spend the next seven years undefeated, winning two regional WBO light-heavyweight titles. On 20 April 2013, he made his first attempt at a world title, losing a twelve-round unanimous decision to WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly. A second opportunity at a world title came on 21 March 2015, this time against WBA light-heavyweight champion Jürgen Brähmer, who stopped Krasniqi in nine rounds.
On 10 October 2020, Krasniqi won the WBA interim and IBO light-heavyweight titles by scoring a third-round knockout against Dominic Boesel. Krasniqi's compatriot, former European heavyweight champion Luan Krasniqi (not related, but also a native of Junik) congratulated him on the win.
