Former two-time World Champion
Hee-Jung Yuh won the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens Intercontinental Super
Flyweight title on Sunday,
November 10, at Paju City Hall
in Seoul, South Korea, when she
narrowly defeated Chinas Li Ping
Shi.
Now on a four-fight
winning-streak since coming up
short in a challenge for the WBO
Bantamweight title in October of
2015, 38-year-old Yuh is on a
mission to win her third world
championship. And she is still
on track, after a scrappy but
ultimately successful effort
against Shi.
After ten rounds of boxing,
judges Man-Deuk Kwon and Yeong
Bok Park both had the local
favourite winning by six rounds
to four, 96-94, while judge
Kyung-Han Lee had it 97-96, or
four rounds to three with three
stanzas even.
The new WBF Intercontinental
Champion improved her
professional record to 19-3 (9),
and is now in prime position to
possibly fight for the WBF World
Super Flyweight title in 2018.
Li Ping Shi, only nineteen years
old and still with a bright
future in the ring, drops to
7-2-1 (3).
The fight was promoted by Keun
Dong Su Bu Promotion.
