Angelo Frank captured the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Super Welterweight
title on Sunday, September 2,
when he defeated Georgian Giorgi
Gujejiani at the Grosse Freiheit
36 in his home town of Hamburg,
Germany.
Frank entered the fight as a
solid favourite, but it turned
out to be a close fight where
many rounds could have gone
either way. Gujejiani tried to
make good use of his height and
reach advantage, while Frank
tried to attack but actually
found most success when
counter-punching.
After ten somewhat lacklustre
rounds of boxing, judges Marco
Morales, Timo Habighorst and
Hendrik Schram scored the fight
96-94, 97-93 and 98-95
respectively, all for Frank who
hinted at possibly making a
quick turn-around to defend his
new title in October.
From a circus family who owns
the Circus Europa, Frank (29)
made a perfect somersault when
proclaimed the winner,
celebrating that he improved his
professional record to 14-2 (9).
Gujejiani (32) is now a
misleading 11-11-2 (7).
The fight was one of three
featured title bouts on a show
promoted by Boxen im Norden.
