Boxing Club Douai presents a big
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Championship doubleheader on
Friday November 2 at the
Complexe Sportif Gayant in
Douai, France, featuring two
local stars in the biggest
fights of their careers.
Undefeated WBF Womens World
Super Bantamweight Champion
Segolene “Majestic” Lefebvre,
10-0 (1), makes the third
defense of her title against
former WBA and WBO World
Champion Yesica Patricia Marcos,
28-1-2 (9), from Argentina.
A pro for ten years, 32-year-old
Marcos has taken part in ten
world championship bouts,
winning eight of them, drawing
one and only losing one. At
least on paper she is by far the
best, and certainly most
accomplished, opponent Lefebvre
has so far faced.
The chief supporting bout will
be a clash of undefeated boxers,
as Mehdi Mouhib, 16-0 (10),
takes on three-time Egyptian
Champion Abdumonem “Braveheart”
Said, 18-0-1 (8), for the vacant
WBF Intercontinental
Welterweight title.
For both men it will be a step
up in competition, and their
first opportunity to win a major
title, and the 28-year-old local
man is not expected to have an
easy nights work against the
more experienced Cairo-boxer.
Said has been in five national
title-fights, while Mouhib
enters his first championship
bout.
Two evenly matched fights, and
the fact that Lefebvre and
Mouhib need all the support they
can get, are expected to bring
the loyal Douai boxing fans out
in droves. It remains to be seen
if both Douai favourites are
also undefeated following
November 2.
