More than 5000 spectators
watched at the MHP Arena in
Ludwigsburg, Germany, and many
more on TV in Slovenia, as Ema
Kozin became a two-weight World
Boxing Federation (WBF) world
champion on Saturday night,
March 23.
Already the reigning WBF World
Champion at Middleweight, Kozin
won the vacant WBF Womens World
Super Middleweight title,
scoring a unanimous decision, in
a decent but unspectacular
fight, over Sanna Turunen from
Finland.
Although Turunen was bleeding
from a cut on the nose in the
last round, she never looked in
danger of getting stopped in the
fight, but judges Herbert Urich,
Andreas Mueller and Helmut Ranze
all had her clearly behind at
the end, with scores of 98-92,
99-92 and 97-93 respectively.
“The
Princess” Kozin, a 20-year-old
Southpaw from Ljubljana, is now
the youngest two-weight WBF
World Champion in history, she
was only eighteen when capturing
the Middleweight crown, and
improves her record to 16-0-1
(8). Turunen drops to 5-3-1 (1).
