It was considered a routine title-defense by most, when Elina Tissen put the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Women’s World Featherweight title on the line against Enerolisa de Leon on November 19 in Warendorf, Germany.
Tissen entered the fight at 25-2, while de Leon brought a modest 6-6-2 record, and at 40 years of age it would not have been a surprise if her best days in the ring were behind her.
But the Spain-based Dominican had her own plans, and pressured Tissen from the first second until the German was pulled out after eight rounds where she had mostly been on the receiving end.
The stunning victory makes Enerolisa de Leon the WBF Boxer of the Month for November 2022.
