At last weekends show at the
Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, GA,
where Mike Ruiz won the WBF
Intercontinental Super
Welterweight title by stopping
Paul Delgado, co-promoter Lisa
Hudson-Webb and WBF Supervisor
Alan Santana presented an
honorary “Georgia Fighter Of The
Decade” Award to former World
Champion Paul Williams.
Williams was paralyzed from the
waist down in a motorcycle
accident earlier this year, but
looked to be in good spirits at
ringside. He has wowed that he
will walk again and maybe even
return to the ring.
WBF Women’s World Middleweight
Champion Christina Hammer
has recently received her
certificate of having passed her
Abitur (German university
entrance qualification) and now
considers studying sports
science.
The unbeaten (12-0) 21-year-old,
who has already made three
defences of her title, will
nevertheless continue in the
punching business.
“I’m the number one in the world
and want to keep on proving it
as long as possible. I’m looking
forward to many attractive
fights,” Hammer said.
After being released from prison
for good behaviour, WBF
Intercontinental Heavyweight
Champion Amir Mansour
wants to return to the ring as
soon as possible.
The 39-year-old has little time
to waste to build on his 16-0
(12 KO’s) record and said “I
want to thank my family, friends
and fans for standing at my side
during these hard times.”
Mansour was jailed last December
for failing to fulfil the
conditions of his probation, but
the WBF chose to support him and
not vacate his title.
