The World Boxing Federation has
some of the very best female
boxers as the organizations
world champions. Middleweight
title-holder Christina Hammer
and Light Welterweight queen
Myriam Lamare both hold top
spots in the BoxRec world
rankings, while Anne Sophie
Mathis and Nadia Hokmi are
ranked third at Welterweight and
Super Flyweight respectively.
Irma Sanchez is ranked number
four at Flyweight by the
computer-rankings.
Now another world # 1 is set to
contest a WBF World title, as
BoxRec’s top Super Middleweight,
Zita Zatyko (13-0-1, 10 KOs)
takes on former foe and fellow
Hungarian Diana Kiss (ranked
number three in the world) on
November 12 in Szekszard,
Hungary.
The pair fought twice in 2009
with one draw and a victory for
Zatyko, and as late as this past
June they clashed again. This
time Zatyko took a ten-round
decision after a hotly-contested
battle, and the rivalry has
grown bigger and bigger over the
years.
Kiss (7-4-1, 6 KOs) will be
looking for revenge on November
12, and success in lifting a WBF
world title in her second
attempt. She came up short in a
challenge for the Middleweight
crown this past February against
the aforementioned Christina
Hammer.A former Hungarian national
Kickboxing champion and K-1
World Champion, 31-year-old Zita
“The Giant” Zatyko will be in
her first boxing world title
fight, having won Hungarian and
Slovakian International
championships during an unbeaten
run that has been almost three
years in the making.
While she is already 2-0-1
against Kiss, there is no
guarantee that she will remain
unbeaten after their fourth
encounter. There is a reason why
they are fighting again: It is a
world class match-up! However,
if successful, Zatyko is
dreaming of a super-fight
against WBF Women’s Heavyweight
Champion Natasha Ragosina.
“All boxers should want to fight
the best, and that is what I
want. Ragosina is very good, but
my goal is to fight her and beat
her. After I win the world title
at Super Middleweight, I would
love to move up and take on
Ragosina at Heavyweight”, said
Zatyko.
The Zatyko vs. Kiss fight will
be promoted by Profibox-Promotion
on a show huge show with nine
bouts on the undercard,
including a national title fight
as the main supporting contest.
