Ema Kozin is still the World
Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens
World Middleweight Champion,
after scoring what is arguably
her most significant win to
date, defeating former IBF World
titlist Chris Namus at the CPI
Box Club in Donauwoerth, Germany
on Saturday night, October 17.
Also the WBF World Champion at
Super Middleweight, Kozin
retained the Middleweight crown
for the third time, scoring a
unanimous decision over
Uruguay´s Namus (33), who at
times gave the 21-year old
southpaw from Slovenia plenty to
think about.
Judges Diana Drews-Milani and
Maurizio Rinaudo both scored the
fight 97-93, while judge Dominic
Kuhaupt had it slightly wider at
98-92, all for Kozin who
improved her professional record
to 20-0-1 (10). Namus drops to
25-6 (8).
In the co-featured bout of the
evening, previously undefeated
local girl Jessica Schadko was
upset by classy 20-year-old
Irish underdog Katelynn Phelan
in their fight for the vacant
WBF Womens World Welterweight
title.
Phelann was a step ahead of
Schadko from the start, and was
leading on the cards by scores
of 50-45, 49-46 and 49-46 when
Schadko was retired before the
start of round six, giving the
visitor a technical knockout
victory.
The new WBF World Champion
improved her professional ledger
to 4-0 (1), and Schadko, still
only nineteen and with plenty of
time to rebound, sees her record
dip to 8-1 (2).
A third WBF championship fight
on the card saw another underdog
upset the apple-cart, as Jan
Marsalek from the Czech Republic
came from behind to wipe out
previously unbeaten Fatih
Duebues to win the vacant
International Light Welterweight
title.
Marsalek (33), fighting for and
winning his first pro title,
viciously knocked out Duebues
cold with a clean left hook at
0:33 of round nine, taking his
record to 8-2 (7). Duebues (26)
falls to 4-1 (4).
The show, broadcast live
world-wide on Youtube, was
promoted by CPI Promotions.
