Former World Super Welterweight
Champion Chris Namus has been
confirmed as the opponent for
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Middleweight
Champion Ema Kozin on September
5 in Donauworth, Germany.
Namus, 25-5 (8), was scheduled
to challenge Kozin, 19-0-1 (10),
pre Covid-19 lock-down, but it
was unclear if it would be
possible to reschedule the
match-up due to various
restrictions. However, it now
looks like the mouth-watering
fight is once again on.
The 32-year-old from Uruguay had
three failed world
title-challenges, at Light
Welterweight and Welterweight,
before winning the IBF World
Super Welterweight title in
August of 2017 when she defeated
Yamila Esther Reynoso from
Argentina.
She made one successful defense
against compatriot Katia
Alvarino, before losing her
crown to Marie Eva Dicaire in
Canada in December of 2018. Now
she gets the opportunity to
become a two-weight world
champion against Slovenian
Kozin.
Kozin (21), also the WBF World
Champion at Super Middleweight,
will be making her third defense
of the WBF World Middleweight
title.
