Former two-division world
champion Hee-Jung Yuh made a
successful second defense of the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens Intercontinental Super
Flyweight title on Saturday,
August 31, in her home-town of
Gimhae, South Korea.
Using her excellent boxing
skills, Yuh fended off the
challenge of game challenger
Loetizia Campana, from France
but fighting out of Thailand,
scoring a clear unanimous
decision after ten fast-paced
and entertaining rounds.
Campana, who had won three
straight in Bangkok coming into
this bout, tried to unsettle the
more experienced champion, but
Yuh had an answer for everything
and appeared to be in control of
the fight from start to finish.
Judges Joong-Suk Kwon, Yeong Jae
Yu and Hoo Sik Choi scored the
fight 98-93, 100-94 and 98-94
respectively.
39-year-old Hee-Jung Yuh, who
held IFBA and WIBF world titles
at Super Flyweight and
Bantamweight between 2012 and
2014, takes her impressive
professional record to 22-3
(11). Loetizia Campana drops to
8-6 (3).
