24-year-old Leonie Giebel won
the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens Eurasia
Super Featherweight title on
Saturday night, June 10, when
she comprehensively outboxed
Serbian-born Maja Milenkovic at
the Porsche Zentrum in
Paderborn, Germany.
This was a rematch of a 2015
encounter, which Giebel won by
fifth round stoppage, and
Milenkovic showed that she had
greatly improved in the interim.
But Giebel, the reigning German
national champion, was still too
much for her, and on top from
start to finish.
After eight entertaining, but
somewhat one-sided rounds,
judges Jens Kluge, Jens Uwe Baum
and Jean-Marcel Nartz scored the
fight 79-72, 80-72 and 79-72 in
favour of Giebel, who looks
ready for even bigger
challenges.
The new WBF Eurasia Champion
from Bielefeld improved her
unbeaten record to 11-0-1 (1),
while Karlsruhe-based Milenkovic
(25), who challenged for the WBF
International Lightweight title
in her previous outing, drops to
a misleading 5-10 (1).
The fight headlined a sold-out
show promoted by Kai Gutmann.
