Slovenian Ema Kozin will contest
the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens World
Middleweight title on Saturday
October 14 at Hala Tivoli in
Ljubljana, taking on former
three-time world
title-challenger Florence
Muthoni from Kenya.
Still only eighteen years old,
undefeated Kozin, 10-0 (6), can
become the youngest WBF World
Champion in history if
victorious, and proved this past
weekend (September 16) that she
is ready for the championship
level by scoring a ten-round
unanimous decision over Georgian
Elene Sikmashvili in Germany.
32-year-old Florence Muthoni,
11-5-2 (5), will be trying to
make it fourth-time-lucky in
world championship fights, after
a draw and a narrow split
decision loss in IBO challenges
against Jennifer Retzke
(14-1-1), and a unanimous
decision defeat to Svetlana
Kulakova (8-0) in a WBA tilt.
This is a genuinely facinating
clash between youth and
experience, and while Kozin must
be considered a healthy
favourite fighting on home turf,
Muthoni can in no way be
underestimated. It will be her
sixth bout outside Kenya, so she
is not new to fighting away from
home.
The Kozin vs. Muthoni WBF World
title fight will be one of the
main attractions of CFC 4, a
massive combat sports event
featuring professional boxing,
MMA and K1. Promoted by Rudolf
Pavlin, the show will be
broadcast live on Pay-Per-View
via
www.cfc-tv.com.
