Female Strawweight star Oezlem
Sahin and local Heavyweight
Werner Kreiskott are set to be
the two main attractions on a
show in Velbert, Germany this
Saturday, June 18, when both
fight for World Boxing
Federation (WBF) titles at the
EMKA Sportzentrum.
Sahin, a former two-time world
champion born in Turkey but now
residing in Ludwigsburg,
Germany, will take on Hungarian
Agnes Draxler in a fight for the
vacant WBF Womens
Intercontinental Strawweight
championship, a title she has
held before.
With a record of 20-1-1 (6)
Sahin will be a healthy favorite
against Draxler, who challenged
for the WBF Intercontinental
Flyweight title in 2013, when
she was still only seventeen
years old, and currently spots a
9-12 (1) ledger.
Resurrected veteran Werner
Kreiskott, 22-19-2 (16), will be
looking to build on an
eleven-fight undefeated streak
when he face heavy-handed Drazan
Janjanin, 11-6 (10), from Bosnia
& Herzegovina for the vacant WBF
International Heavyweight title.
Kreiskott (37) went 12-19-1 in
his first thirty-two
professional fights, and looked
resigned to a role of being a
good journeyman, losing to
accomplished opponents such as
Willi Fischer, Michael Sprott,
Martin Rogan and Ruslan Chagaev.
But a 2012 upset victory over
former British and Commonwealth
Champion, and Mike
Tyson-conqueror, Danny Williams
turned things around for him.
Baring one draw, he has since
defeated every opponent put in
front of him, and captured a few
titles along the way.
Now he will continue his journey
against Janjanin, who earlier
this year proved his worth by
going the distance with former
European Champion Alexander
Dimitrenko. Having challenged
for only minor championships,
this will be the 27-year-old
punchers first crack at a
meaningful title, but he has
proved that he has the power to
threaten Kreiskott.
Promoted by Fight Club
Wuppertal, the Sahin vs. Draxler
/ Kreiskott vs. Janjanin World
Boxing Federation (WBF)
twin-bill has been labelled
“True Fighter: Second Chapter”.
A stacked undercard will lead up
to the two title fights, and
local fans can expect an
entertaining evening of action.
