World Boxing Federation (WBF) Women’s World Middleweight Champion Ema Kozin from Slovenia is set to make her second title-defense against South African contender Mapule “Thunder” Ngubane on July 8 in Budapest, Hungary.

Still only nineteen and the youngest WBF World Champion in history, Kozin has compiled an impressive 13-0 (8) record in only eighteen months as a pro, and captured the WBF World title with a unanimous decision over Kenyan Florence Muthoni last October in Slovenia.

Kozin was originally scheduled to defend against Ngubane in Oklahoma City, USA this past March, but when the Johannesburg-native failed to get a visa “The Princess” instead took on Serbia´s former IBF World Champion Eva Bajic and won in five rounds.

Ngubane, 7-5-3 (1), is a former WBF World title-challenger at Super Welterweight, losing a decision to Noni Tenge in September of last year. Her win-loss-draw record quite deceiving, she is coming off a victory over former South African national champion Julie Tshabalala.

The Ema Kozin vs. Mapule Ngubane World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Middleweight title fight will headline a show at Morrisions2 in Budapest, promoted by Feja Box Promotion.
