With WBF women’s world light
welterweight champion Myriam
Lamare successfully defending
her title last Saturday against
Lucia Morelli
(see report)
in France, a month with high
activity in Europe took off to a
great start.
The busy November for the World
Boxing Federation continues with
a SES Boxing presentation on
Nov. 20 in Dresden, Germany for
SAT.1 television. WBF women’s
world super featherweight
champion Ramona ‘The Dragon’
Kuehne, 16-1 (5), will risk all
her crowns (owning also the WBO
and WIBF belts) against
undefeated Bosnian challenger
Irma Balijagic Adler, 12-0 (5).
On the same card, Slovenia’s
Denis Simcic, 24-1 (14), is set
to make the first defence of his
WBF International light
heavyweight title, which he won
as recently as September. His
challenger will be Jindrich
Velecky, himself a former WBF
International champion and world
title challenger to William Gare
at super middleweight, from the
Czech Republic.
Just a week later, on Nov. 27 in
Rostov, Russia, the WBF women’s
world featherweight title is on
the line when Oksana Vasilieva
meets Hungary’s Renata Szebeledi
for the vacant belt. This event
is of special significance for
the World Boxing Federation, as
it marks the first
WBF event staged by a Russian
promoter.
