On December 7 at the Espace
Trois Provinces in Brive,
France, veteran Cyril Leonet
takes on Germany´s Dennis
Lewandowski for the vacant World
Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Heavyweight title,
headlining a show promoted by
Gerard Teysseron and his
Europrom outfit.
A professional since 2006,
35-year-old Leonet from the city
of Saint-Junien has a spotted
and decieving 14-10-3 (5)
record, but is quite
accomplished as a former French
national champion and former IBF
Mediterranean title-holder.
However, winning the WBF
International title against
Lewandowski, only twenty-four
years old and 13-2 (6) since
entering the paid code in 2014,
would solidify that Leonet is a
much better fighter than his
mediocre win-loss-draw
statistics suggest.
For Lewandowski, who has mixed
in decent company and only lost
on points to Tom Schwarz (16-0)
and Boris Estenfelder (9-1) in
minor title-fights, this will be
the biggest opportunity of his
career. But, despite bringing
the better record on paper, he
must be considered an underdog
travelling to France.
The Cyril Leonet vs. Dennis
Lewandowski World Boxing
Federation (WBF) International
Heavyweight title fight will be
preceded by two additional
championship fights, with French
national and European Union
belts on the line.
