French World Boxing Federation
(WBF) Womens World Super
Featherweight Champion Licia
Boudersa, 13-2-2 (3), defends
her title against former
European Champion Djemilla
Gontaruk, 14-5-2 (2), from
Belgium on March 28 at Zenith de
Lille in Lille.
On February 23 Boudersa (26)
suffered a freak defeat at the
hands of Serbian Jelena
Janicijevic in what was supposed
to be a routine non-title
tune-up fight, when the referee
decided she was unable to
continue due to an injury in the
fifth round.
Considering the circumstances of
the defeat, the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) decided to let
her keep the world title, and
she is now ready to face a tough
challenger in 27-year-old
Gontaruk, just over a month
after that unlucky night.
Gontaruk is no stranger to
competing at world level, and
has only come up short against
top-class opponents Eva
Wahlstrom, Stephanie Ducastel,
Amanda Serrano, Ramona Kuehne
and Firuza Sharipova, all
former, current or future world
champions at the time.
In 2017 she dropped decisions to
Keuhne for the WBO World title
in Germany and to Sharipova in
Kazakhstan for the IBO crown, so
she will not be intimidated by
travelling to France, hoping it
will be third-time-lucky in her
world championship quest.
The fight will be one of three
featured title fights on a show
labelled “No Limit”, promoted by
Asloum Event, headed by former
European and World Champion
Brahim Asloum. The card will be
televised in France by RMC
Sport.
