World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Middleweight
Champion Ema Kozin from Slovenia
will get a second try at
becoming a two-weight WBF World
Champion on Saturday March 23 at
the MHP Arena in Ludwigsburg,
Germany.
20-year-old Kozin, 15-0-1 (8),
who became the youngest WBF
World Champion in history when
she won the Middleweight crown
at still only eighteen in
October of 2017, will face Sana
Turunen, 5-2 (1), from Finland
for the vacant World Super
Middleweight title.
In September of last year Kozin
drew with tough Mexican Irais
Hernandez for that title, but it
was not on the line when she won
the WIBA crown on points in the
rematch only a month later. Now
she has a chance to make further
history by becoming the youngest
two-weight WBF World Champion
ever.
But Turunen will not be an easy
task, despite her inferior
record. She has proved that she
can compete at world level, as
her two losses came on points in
championship fights to Hannah
Rankin in England and Tori
Nelson in America.
The Kozin vs. Turunen WBF World
Super Middleweight title fight
will be one of two championship
bouts topping a bill promoted by
Dimitrios Kassapidis at the 7000
capacity MHP Arena.
