Unified Womens World
Featherweight Champion Elin “The
Machine” Tissen puts everything
on the line when she defends
against Hungarian underdog
Gabriella Busa on Saturday June
6 at the Spielbank Hohensyburg
in Dortmund, Germany.
After winning the GBU and WIBF
world titles in 2010-2011,
Tissen was declared the Unified
Womens World champion when the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
launched its cooperation with
the WIBF and GBU last March, and
merged the three championships
into the most prestigious title
in female boxing.
After nine years as a
professional, 28-year old Tissen
is 18-2 (6), and will be
entering her twelfth
championship fight against the
two years younger Busa, who is a
late replacement stepping in for
Bosnian Irma Balijagic Adler to
fight for her first title.
Busa, who actually has so far
never boxed professionally in
her native Hungary, only brings
a 3-2 (1) pro ledger, but was an
accomplished amateur and proved
her worth when she stopped
former world title-challenger
Bettina Granasi in three rounds
in her most recent outing.
Her two defeats were on points
against good opposition, one of
them in Serbia against
undefeated Nina Stojanovic who
is herself challenging a Unified
World title on May 30, and Busa
believes she can capitalize on
this great opportunity and pull
the big upset in Dortmund.
Billed as Hohensyburger
Boxnacht, the Elina Tissen vs.
Gabriela Busa Unified Womens
World Featherweight title fight
will be promoted by MiBo
Boxpromotion.
