Haris won this fight by decision.[11] He was close to winning by knockout in the first round when he knocked down his opponent with a terrible blow, however, Jordy was given more than allowed 10 seconds to recover and thus managed to continue the match.

First, he was supposed to fight the Dutch kickboxer Kevin Hessling, who canceled seven days before the match, and after that, the organisers found a replacement in the Portuguese fighter Rudi Mendes, who also gave up, so he was replaced with a French fighter Mohamed Soumah. However, Biber found out that he would fight against the Greek representative Kostas Papadopoulos only at the weigh-in. He won this fight by a decision.[15]
In November, he fought Dejan Ristevski at Basovic Brothers Memorial Tournament[16] in Sarajevo and won by KO in the first round.[17][18]

Unfortunately, he also canceled the fight. However, the fight between Mark Trijsburg and Haris Biber was rescheduled for June at the 4-man tournament[32] for the belt of the WFL organization. He lost by decision to Mark Trijsburg who took the belt home with him and became the new WFL champion in the -77 KG category.[33]
