Saturday April 14 will be a busy
day for the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) in France, as
three shows are headlined by
fights involving WBF titles.
The cities of Rumilly, Dieppe
and Henin-Beaumont will all host
WBF championship boxing.
In Rumilly, local man Mehdi
Madani, 14-8-1 (0), is set to
face 29-year-old Georgian Giorgi
Gogebashvili, 12-7-2 (2), for
the vacant WBF Eurasia
Middleweight title.
Having fought his whole career
at Super Middleweight, Madani
(31) has trimmed down a division
in an effort to win his first
title after eight years in the
paid ranks.
Approximately 700 kilometres
north, the vacant WBF Eurasia
Super Middleweight title will be
up for grabs in Dieppe when
Romain Tilliot, 9-10 (1),
squares off with Novak
Radulovic, 7-1-1 (3), from
Serbia.
Tilliot (30) will be looking to
break away from the
journeyman-path his career has
taken in recent years, but
Radulovic, still only twenty-two
years old, is full of ambition
and have every intention of
spoiling that plan.
Finally, WBF Womens
Intercontinental titlist Oshin
Derieuw, 7-0 (4), is going for
the vacant WBF World Light
Welterweight title in her
home-town of Henin-Beaumont,
when she takes on Dominican Lina
Tejada, 11-4 (9).
Derieuw (30) will be in with her
biggest test to date in the five
years younger Tejada, who is
coming off a game challenge for
no less than four world titles
in her most recent outing.
