On Friday April 20 in Dortmund,
Germanys undefeated Goda
Dailydaite, 6-0 (2), takes on
Arleta Krausova, 6-1 (2), from
the Czech Republic for the
vacant World Boxing Federation
Women’s World Featherweight
title on a show promoted by
Khalil Boxpromotion.
Born in Lithuania in 1985, Goda
Dailydaite is now residing in
Essen, not far from Dortmund.
She turned pro in June 2010, and
already in her third fight, in
April 2011, she won an
Intercontinental title by
defeating Austria’s Doris
Koehler by ten round unanimous
decision.
Dailydaite has since scored
additionally three victories,
and is aiming to take her career
to the next level against
Krausova. The 31 year old from
Usti will enter her second world
title fight, having lost a
spirited challenge of WBF Super
Featherweight Champion Ramona
Kuehne on points last year.
In her last outing Krausova won
a minor championship by
defeating another German, Pia
Mazelanik, this past November.
That bout, like the Kuehne-challenge,
also took place in Germany, so
fighting for titles against
Germans in Germany is nothing
new to Arleta Krausova.
On the same night in Les
Pennes-Mirabeau, France, WBF
Intercontinental Light
Heavyweight Champion Nadjib
Mohammedi will put his title on
the line against Algerian-born
Swiss Mohamed Belkacem at the
Salle Jean Roure. This will be
the first defense for Mohammedi,
who won the title last year at
the same venue against Georgian
George Tevdorashvili.
Being a former French and
European Union Champion, as well
as a former WBO World
title-challenger, Mohammedi,
25-3 (13), is the more
accomplished of the two. But
former Swiss Champion Belkacem,
20-4-1 (9), is no stranger to
competing at championship level
himself, and a year ago he
proved his grit by losing a
competitive decision to current
WBF World Champion Doudou Ngumbu
for the African Boxing Union
crown.
The winner of the Mohammedi vs.
Belkacem WBF Intercontinental
Light Heavyweight title fight,
promoted by Robert Safrani and B
C Center, could be in line to
challenge the aforementioned
Ngumbu for the World
Championship, so a lot is on the
line this coming Friday. The
loser will have to get back in
line…
