Austria-based German Nicole
Wesner retained the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens World
Lightweight title for the fifth
time on Saturday night, July 6,
in the main event of a show at
Gym 23 in her adopted home-town
of Vienna.
Dedicating the fight to recently
departed administrators Olaf
Schroeder (WBF) and Jurgen Lutz
(WIBF), Wesner scored a
unanimous decision over Pasa
Malagic from Bosnia &
Herzegovina, controlling the
action most of the way.
After ten rounds of action,
judges Dominic Kuhaupt, Ralph
Koch and Baron Gottwald scored
the fight 96-93, 98-91 and 97-92
respectively.
Wesner (41), who made her
professional debut very late at
35 in 2012, appears to be on top
of her game as she improved her
unblemished record to 16-0 (7).
24-year-old Malagic, who entered
the paid ranks two weeks after
Wesner at 18, drops to 12-6 (3).
In the evenings co-feature,
Prisca Vicot, from France but
fighting out of Leipzig in
Germany, captured the Interim
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Light Welterweight
title, out-scoring Ukrainian
Olena Medvedenko.
Judges Ralph Koch and Baron
Gottwald both scored it 98-92,
while judge Bulcsu Gabris had it
97-93, all for Vicot who takes
her professional ledger to 11-6
(2). Medvedenko is now 6-6 (2).
