Slovenian Southpaw Ema Kozin
will make her first defense of
the World Boxing Federation
(WBF) Womens World Middleweight
title when she takes on former
IBF World Champion Eva Bajic
from Serbia on Friday March 16
at Remington Park in Oklahoma
City, USA.
Kozin, 12-0 (7), became the
youngest ever WBF World Champion
when she, still only eighteen
years old, beat Kenyan Florence
Muthoni last October in her
home-town of Ljubljana. In
December she added the WIBA
title to her resume.
“The
Princess” has only been a pro
since debuting at the WBF World
Convention in September of 2016,
and had an incredibly active
2017 with eleven fights, the
last three of which where for
titles. Making her US debut
against 33-year-old Eva Bajic,
she is set for a stern
challenge.
Eva Bajic, 13-10 (9), may have
what some would call a mediocre
win-loss record, but if you take
a closer look it is not hard to
see why. Losses against the
likes of Cecilia Breakhus, Rola
El Halabi, Jessica Balogun,
Delfine Persoon and Mikaela
Lauren, all reigning, former or
future world champions, are no
shame.
In March of 2013, then fighting
under her birth-name of Eva
Halasi, Bajic won the IBF World
Welterweight title when she
travelled to Germany and beat
undefeated Ivana Habazin by
unanimous decision. She was
never given a chance to defend
that title, so she is now eager
to resurrect her career against
Kozin.
“Rumble
At Remington”, Ema Kozin
defending the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens World
Middleweight title against Eva
Bajic on Friday March 16 at
Remington Park in Oklahoma City,
USA is promoted by HD
Promotions.
