Undefeated World Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens World Lightweight Champion Nicole Wesner will have her hands full when she makes her first title-defense against former world Featherweight and Super Featherweight ruler Irma Balijagic Adler on Sunday September 6 at the Markthalle in Wismar, Germany.

Wesner, 10-0 (5), won the WBF world title last December with an emphatic third round knockout of tough Hungarian Gina Chamie in her adopted home-country of Austria, and stayed busy with a non-title fight stoppage of Monica Gentili from Italy this past June. Now she is set to return to Germany as world champion.

In Irma Balijagic Adler, 15-5 (8), from Bosnia & Herzegovina she will likely face her biggest challenge since turning pro in 2012. Adler won her country’s national Lightweight crown in 2007, and became world featherweight champion the following year.

In 2010 Adler challenged local favourite Ramona Kuehne in Germany for the WBF World Super Featherweight title, but lost on points after a spirited effort.

In consecutive bouts she came up short in two more world title challenges in 2012, at Lightweight and Super Featherweight, but in 2013 she was finally successful in becoming a two-weight world titlist, capturing a Super Featherweight crown.

Later in 2013 she moved back down in weight in an attempt to win the WBF World Featherweight title, but lost a close decision in France to undefeated Galle Armand. Last September she returned with a victory in Serbia, and is now on a mission to win her third world championship in a third weight class.

Preceded by a stacked undercard, the Wesner vs. Adler WBF World Lightweight title fight, will be promoted by the world champion herself in association with PSP Boxteam.
