Former three-belt World Champion
Ji Hyun Park from South Korea
stayed on track for a potential
shot at a fourth world title on
Saturday, April 13, when she
retained the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens
International Strawweight title
for the first time.
At the massive Bucheon Gymnasium
in Seoul suburb Bucheon, the
33-year-old scored a landslide
unanimous decision over Chinese
challenger Yu Fei Wu, with
scores of 100-90, 100-90 and
100-91 from judges Kyung-Han
Lee, Yeong Bok Park and
Sung-Chul Jo.
Park was basically a level above
the eighteen year old Wu, and
controlled the fight quite
easily, despite Wu being game
and never giving up in her
attempts to find a way into the
fight. The champion was just too
crafty and skilled, but never
appeared close to getting a
stoppage.
A professional since 2005, and a
veteran of twenty championship
fights, including fifteen
successful world title-defenses,
Ji Hun Park improved her record
to 24-3 (7), while Yu Fei Wu has
plenty of time to come again and
travels back to China at 7-3
(1).
