Segolene Lefebvre and Mehdi
Mouhib will face tough
challengers when they defend
their World Boxing Federation
(WBF) titles at familiar
stomping grounds, headlining a
show at the Salle Gayant in
home-town Douai, France on April
12.
In her fourth defense of the WBF
Womens World Super Bantamweight
crown, Lefebvre, 11-0 (1), will
square off with Laura Soledad
Griffa, 18-2 (1), from
Argentina, and aims to further
solidify her standing as one of
the very best in her division.
Coming off her best win to date
against another Argentinian in
former WBA and WBO World
Champion Yesica Patricia Marcos
(28-1-2) last November, Lefebvre
(25) goes in deep again with
Griffa (33) who brings plenty of
ambition to her second crack at
world honours.
Putting his WBF Intercontinental
Welterweight title on the line
for the first time in the
co-feature, 29-year-old
undefeated Mehdi “Coco” Mouhib,
17-0 (11), faces experienced
Belgian Steve Jamoye (27), who
enters the fight with a 25-7-2
(5) record.
Like Lefebvre, Mouhib will try
to build on the momentum gained
in his previous outing, where he
scored his best victory so far
and won the WBF title with an
impressive second round stoppage
of then unbeaten Egyptian
Abdumonem Said (18-0-1).
Also on the show, promoted by
Douai Boxing Club, older brother
of Segolene, Barthelemy
Lefebvre, 17-10-1 (4), fights
for the vacant French national
Super Welterweight title against
Fouad El Massoudi, 16-11 (2).
Five additional bouts will
complete the card.
