Two former French World Boxing
Federation (WBF) World Champions
will clash for the vacant WBF
Womens World Flyweight title on
Saturday June 8, headlining a
show at the Complexe Sportif
Méja in Belaruc-les-Bains,
France.
Leatitier Arzalier, 13-1 (3),
who won the WBF World
Strawweight title almost exactly
three years ago but never got a
chance to defend it, will take
on Anne Sophie Da Costa, 28-5
(11), WBF World Strawweight
Champion between 2012 and 2014
and WBF World Light Flyweight
ruler from 2015 to 2018.
Arzalier, also a French and
European title-holder early in
her career, didn't fight for two
and a half years following her
world championship triumph over
Brazilian Aline de Cassia
Scaranello in May of 2016, but
has come back with two victories
last November and April.
For Da Costa it will amazingly
be her third world title fight
inside three months, in three
different weight classes, having
lost decisions to Oezlem Sahin
for the WIBA Strawweight title
on March 16 and to Sarah Bormann
for the WBF Light Flyweight
title on May 4.
Having won her last seven bouts,
and fighting on home-turf,
Arzalier (35) must be considered
the favourite, but Da Costa (36)
is by far her most accomplished
opponent to date, and will know
that this could be her last
chance to resurrect her career.
