World Boxing Federation World
Light Heavyweight Champion
Doudou Ngumbu won his title the
hard way, by going into his
opponent’s backyard to put on an
impressive performance. He did
so last November when he beat
Aleksy Koziemski in the Polish
fighter’s hometown of Bialystok.
While Ngumbu, 29-3 (11), will
not be going abroad for his
first title-defense, the
Congo-born Frenchman will be in
for a tough challenge when he
clash with WBF Intercontinental
Champion Nadjib Mohammedi on
June 15 at the Salle Jean Roure
in Pennes Mirabeau, France.
And just for the record, Ngumbu
will be going into hostile
territory again, as Mohammedi is
from nearby Gardane and will
have the majority of the crowd
on his side on fight night.
Ngumbu won the title on his
opponent’s turf, and he will be
defending it on his opponent’s
turf!
On top of that, Nadjib Mohammedi,
27-3 (14), is a tough-as-nails
operator. He won the WBF
Intercontinental title in
December 2011 by defeating
Georgian George Tevdorashvili,
and successfully defended it
this past April with a victory
over Switzerland’s Mohamed
Belkacem to set up his second
world title-opportunity.
Mohammedi fought undefeated
Welshman Nathan Claverly for the
WBO world title in December
2010, and lost a close decision.
He will undoubtedly be going all
out to come out victorious
against Ngumbu, and the
defending champion has no
intentions of letting his
hard-earned championship slip
away. It looks like a can’t-miss
crowd-pleaser!

Mohammedi WBF World Light
Heavyweight title fight will be
