With WBF women’s world light welterweight champion Myriam Lamare successfully defending her title last Saturday against Lucia Morelli (see report) in France, a month with high activity in Europe took off to a great start.
The busy November for the World Boxing Federation continues with a SES Boxing presentation on Nov. 20 in Dresden, Germany for SAT.1 television. WBF women’s world super featherweight champion Ramona ‘The Dragon’ Kuehne, 16-1 (5), will risk all her crowns (owning also the WBO and WIBF belts) against undefeated Bosnian challenger Irma Balijagic Adler, 12-0 (5).
On the same card, Slovenia’s Denis Simcic, 24-1 (14), is set to make the first defence of his WBF International light heavyweight title, which he won as recently as September. His challenger will be Jindrich Velecky, himself a former WBF International champion and world title challenger to William Gare at super middleweight, from the Czech Republic.
Just a week later, on Nov. 27 in Rostov, Russia, the WBF women’s world featherweight title is on the line when Oksana Vasilieva meets Hungary’s Renata Szebeledi for the vacant belt. This event is of special significance for the World Boxing Federation, as it marks the first WBF event staged by a Russian promoter.
