Undefeated World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens
International Featherweight
Champion Melanie Zwecker, will
attempt to add the WBF
Intercontinental title to her
resume when she squares off with
Dominican Diana Garcia on
Saturday April 25 at the
Pfinzhalle in Dettenheim,
Germany.
Zwecker, currently 6-0 (3) since
turning pro in December 2012,
won the WBF International crown
in May 2014 with a unanimous
decision over another Dominican,
Grecia Nova, and stayed busy
with a first round knockout of
Kristina Boras from Croatia in a
non title-bout last December.
Now the 31-year-old from nearby
Karlsruhe is ready to take the
next step, and if she is
successful in winning the vacant
Intercontinental title she could
soon be a legitimate contender
for the Unified Womens World
Featherweight title, currently
held by fellow German Elina
Tissen.
In Diana “La Evangelica” Garcia
she will be facing a very
experienced opponent who has
fought some of the best in the
world, and also beat a few of
them, and challenged for various
championships since entering the
paid ranks in 2001.
Despite a modest 13-20 (4)
ledger, Garcia is a tough foe
for anyone, as she proved in her
most recent bout when she won
the Dominican Super
Featherweight title, by
dominating and eventually
stopping the highly favored
Marisol Reyes in ten rounds.
A very intriguing match-up on
paper, the Melanie Zwecker vs.
Diana Garcia WBF
Intercontinental Featherweight
title fight will be promoted by
Michael Siegel.
