Streaking local veteran Werner
Kreiskott is set to make the
first defense of his World
Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Heavyweight title
on Saturday February 11,
headlining a stacked card at the
EMKA Sportzentrum in Velbert,
Germany.
Kreiskott, 23-19-2 (17), won the
WBF title last June, stopping
Drazan Janjanin from Bosnia &
Herzegovina in six rounds. His
first challenger will be
massively experienced former WBC
world title-challenger Epifanio
“Diamante” Mendoza from
Colombia.
Undefeated in his last twelve
outings, Kreiskott will be
looking to make a statement
against Mendoza, 43-24-1 (37),
who has shared a ring with many
notable Heavyweight names,
including Luis Ortiz, Dominic
Breazeale and Lateef Kayode. In
2011 he challenged Amir Mansour
for the WBF Intercontinental
crown.
While Kreiskott has not boxed
since capturing the championship
almost seven months ago, Mendoza
stayed busy with a first round
knockout victory in December.
Having stopped thirty-seven of
his forty-three victims, he is
not someone for the champion to
take lightly.
The show, billed as “Die Nacht
Der Löwen” (Night Of The Lions),
will be promoted by Kreiskott
and his Fight Club Wuppertal.
The undercard will feature local
talent in competitive match-ups.
