Germany has a new champion in
women’s boxing, as local
favorite Raja Amasheh captured
her first professional title by
lifting the vacant World Boxing
Federation Intercontinental
Flyweight championship on
Saturday night, October 27, in
Sankt Ingbert.
Amasheh beat former world
title-challenger Fleij Djendji
from Serbia by unanimous
decision, and improved her
impressive unbeaten record to
14-0-1 (3). Djendji is now
14-15-1 (8).
The new champion took control
from the get-go, and Djendji was
quickly marked in the face and
boxed most of the ten rounds
with a badly swollen left eye.
But the action was good and
fast, and while Amasheh always
had the edge and pressured her
opponent, it was an entertaining
battle between well-matched
boxers.
In the end the judges scored the
bout 100-89 (Bernd Hupfer) and
100-90 twice (Alexander Plumanns
and Uwe Lorch). Referee was
Herbert Urich.
The show, held at the
Industriekathedrale Alte Schmelz
in Sankt Ingbert, was promoted
by Oliver Heib and his Dog Event
Boxing, and featured five more
professional bouts and two
professional K1 contest.
