Undefeated European (EBU) Super Featherweight champion Eva Wahlström today announced that she will relinquish her title in favor of challenging for the new Unified Women’s World Championship on April 24 in Helsinki, Finland.
Wahlström holds a splendid record of 13-0-1 (3) and will clash with Irma Balijagic of Bosnia, who already challenged twice for WBF world titles, losing to outstanding champions Ramona Kuehne (at super featherweight in 2010) and Gaelle Amand (at featherweight in 2013), both on points only. Balijagic’ record stands at 15-5 (8).
“I have won and defended the EBU title and proved I am among the best female Super Featherweights in the world, now it’s time to make the next step forward in my career,” explained Wahlström.
“And what better way than to challenge for the most legitimate title now around, the Unified Women’s World Championships!”
