Back in 2014, Germany´s Serdar
“Bomber” Sahin lost a close
decision for the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) World Light
Heavyweight title to Tony
Averlant in France. He has since
gone undefeated, and won a
couple of regional title fights,
and now he is ready for a second
chance at world glory.
He will get that chance at
Cruiserweight, a division he has
boxed in before and held the
German national title at, as he
takes on Argentinian Diego
Javier Sanabria for the vacant
WBF World title on Saturday
November 18 at the Essen
Fairgrounds in Essen, Germany.
Sahin, 26-2 (17), has been a pro
for twelve years and this could
be the Berlin fighters last
chance to go all the way. But
former Argentinian champion
Sanabria is no push-over,
bringing a 59-18-3 (46) record.
From Buenos Aires, “La Bestia”
(The animal) has only lost one
of his last fifty-two bouts!
With sixty-three stoppage
victories between them, it is
hard to imagine this encounter
going the full twelve rounds.
Most likely it will be short and
explosive, and it is anybody’s
guess who will remain standing
with hands raised as the new WBF
World Cruiserweight Champion.
The fight will headline a show
staged by the worlds youngest
promoter, 15-year-old Ranee
Schroeder. Schroeder made her
promotional début last December
in her home-town Bielefeld,
putting on a couple of
International title fights, and
now she is ready to take things
to the next level.
