World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Super Bantamweight
Champion Segolene Lefebvre, 9-0
(1), will make her second
title-defense on Saturday April
28 as part of a major show at
the Gayant Expo-Concert in
Douai, France.
The 24-year-old from Fourmies
will without a doubt face her
toughest challenge to date in
former IBF World Champion
Gabriela Bouvier, 13-8-1 (3),
from Uruguay, a very experienced
operator entering her ninth
world championship contest.
Lefebvre won the WBF World title
in March of 2017 by stopping
Brazilian Simone Da Silva in
nine rounds, and retained it the
following November with a
razor-thin, but unanimous,
decision over Mexico´s Naroyuki
Koasicha.
Gabriela Bouvier (26) came up
short in three world
title-challenges before winning
the IBF World Flyweight crown in
October of 2013. She made one
successful defense before losing
the title by split decision on
away ground to Argentinian
Leonela Paola Yudica.
Since then she has dropped
decisions in Mexico to veteran
champions Zulina Munoz (44-1-2)
and Mariana Juarez (47-9-4) in
bids for WBC World Super
Flyweight and Bantamweight
titles, so she is confident that
Lefebvre cant bring anything to
the table she has not seen
before.
Promoted by Douai Boxing Club in
association with Asloum Event,
and televised live by Sport+ and
SFR Sport, the show also
features a European Flyweight
title fight between Vincent
Legrand and Andrew Selby, and
Mathieu Bauderlique against Eddy
Lacrosse for the French Light
Heavyweight championship.
