On May 8 in Warendorf, Germany,
former three-division world
champion Elina Tissen will
attempt to capture the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Featherweight title
when she square off with Kenyan
Everline Odero.
local star “Elin The Machine”,
23-2 (6), is a former multiple
world title-holder at Super
Bantamweight, Featherweight and
Super Featherweight, and has won
fifteen of sixteen previous
world championship fights,
spanning ten years.
34-year-old Russian-born Tissen
turned pro in 2006, and has not
lost a fight since 2008. She
will be a healthy favorite going
into her clash with Odero, who
is experienced and has faced
some of the best in the world
but come up short.
Odero, 10-9-2 (2), has one
previous world title attempt on
her record, losing a decision to
another German, Jennifer Retzke,
back in 2016. She has never been
stopped, and in her last five
outings only 37-1 Belgian
Delfine Persoon has beaten her.
The Tissen vs. Odero WBF World
Featherweight title fight will
be promoted by Elin Boxing, with
no spectators allowed due to
Covid-19 restrictions.
