Korean superstar Ju Hee Kim overcame huge obstacles to win the vacant World Boxing Federation female light flyweight title against Jujeath Nagawa from the Philippines on September 12 in Anyang, South Korea.

Suffering from a broken nose as well as a hugely swollen left eye, the 24-year-old Kim still managed to come out victorious by a majority decision (99:92, 97:95, 95:95) against the tough Nagawa.

"The problem was that Kim was looking for the knockout punch and this lead to her getting hit more than necessary, and there were also some head butts," said the WBF Asia-Pacific Coordinator Jung Moon Ho. Kim improved her record to 14-1-1 (6 KO's) and impressed the audience at the Ann Yang Stadium with her guts to continue the fight despite her handicaps.

"It is an honor for me to have received this opportunity to become champion of the World Boxing Federation! I am very proud!", proclaimed Kim after the fight.
