The World Boxing Federation
(WBF) Womens World Super
Bantamweight Championship belt
is still around the waist of
Segolene Lefebvre from France,
after she defended the title for
the second time on Saturday
night, April 28, in Douai.
Televised live in France on
Sport+ and SFR Sport, and in
front of more than 5000
spectators at the Salle Gayant,
Lefebvre won a deserved
unanimous decision over former
IBF World Champion Gabriela
Bouvier from Uruguay.
Lefebvre (24) fought a
controlled fight, and while
Bouvier tried her best it was
the defending champion who
usually got her punches off
first and was the busier of the
two. Both coming forward and on
the retreat she had the edge in
what was a solid but
unspectacular bout.
Judges Jean-Marcel Nartz and
Smail Alitouche scored the fight
clearly in Lefebvre´s favour by
97-93 and 98-92, while judge
Edward Marshall saw it closer at
96-94. Her record moves to an
unblemished 10-0 (1), and
Bouvier (26) falls to 13-9-1
(3).
The fight was part of a
championship triple-header
promoted by former European and
WBA World Champion Brahim Asloum
in association with Robert
Pantigny and the Douai Boxing
Club.
