As part of the World Boxing
Federation World Convention
scheduled for September 5 – 8,
2013 in Saarbruecken, Germany,
DOG Event Boxing will stage a
huge championship boxing event
on Saturday September 7 at the
traditional Saarlandhalle
featuring no less than four WBF
title fights.
“We are very proud to be able to
present this wonderful show as
part of our convention”, said
WBF President Howard Goldberg
from his office in Cape Town,
South Africa. “It will be four
competitive bouts for WBF
titles, and I am sure everyone
will enjoy the action.”
Main event will be local
favourite Juergen Doberstein,
from nearby St. Ingbert only 15
minutes drive from the venue,
defending his WBF
Intercontinental Super
Middleweight title against
former World Champion William
Gare from South Africa.
Doberstein, 14-1 (4), won the
vacant WBF title in his latest
outing when he defeated Spaniard
Blas Miguel Martinez by
unanimous decision at the same
arena in March, and he will be
looking to make a spectacular
performance against the hugely
experienced Gare, 27-16 (5),
while taking another step
towards a shot at the WBF World
championship.
Germanys newly crowned WBF
Womens World Light Welterweight
Champion Rola El Halabi will
make a quick return to the ring
after winning the title on
August 3 with a unanimous
decision over tough Hungarian
Dalia Vasarheliy.
The massively popular El Halabi,
known for her amazing comeback
in boxing after being shot in
hands, knees and feet by her
estranged stepfather in 2011,
will make her first defence
against an opponent to be
confirmed.
In the evening’s third WBF
championship contest, Raja
Amasheh from Karlsruhe will
square off with Austria’s Eva
“Golden Baby” Voraberger for the
vacant WBF Womens World Super
Flyweight title.
Undefeated Amasheh, 15-0-1 (4),
is the reigning WBF
Intercontinental Champion at
Flyweight, while Voraberger,
16-2 (8), has won her last
fifteen bouts and captured a
European title in the same
weight class this past May.
Finally, Berlin-based
Cameroonian Bernard Donfack will
get a much deserved opportunity
to win a title in his adopted
home country when he faces
Tanzanian Said Mbelwa for the
vacant WBF International Light
Heavyweight championship.
Donfack, 16-11-3 (8), has
suffered most of his losses “on
the road”, taking on all comers,
and has proven himself capable
of competing with some of the
best in Europe. The same can be
said for Mbelwa, 23-12-4 (15),
who will be fighting outside his
native country for the seventh
time.
Besides boxing fans,
administrators and officials,
also in attendance at the
Saarlandhalle will be special
guests Donny Lalonde, the former
Light Heavyweight World Champion
from Canada, and Germanys former
three-time World Super
Middleweight Champion Markus
Beyer.
