World Boxing Federation (WBF) Women’s World Super Bantamweight champion Phannarai Netisri will make the fifth defense of her title against Venezuelan Niorkis Carreno on October 3 in Hamburg, Germany.
Still only twenty-four years old, Netisri, 17-0 (6), originally from Thailand but based in Germany throughout her entire career, won the WBF world title in May of 2022, stopping Crystal Garcia Nova in five rounds.
She has since fended off challenges from Ana Arrazola, Danielle Bennett, Maria Magdalena Rivera and Isis Vargas Perez, all quality contenders.
In “La Bachaca” Carreno, 25-5 (20), she will be facing a hard-punching and experienced challenger, who has seen it all and is hungry to finally become a world champion.
Carreno has five failed world title-challenges on her resume, all decision losses, and most recently came very close when she lost a majority verdict to IBO world Bantamweight champion Amanda Galle in Canada last December.
This could be the toughest and most dangerous fight for the champion to date, and Carreno (27) knows she has to be on top of her game to make her sixth world title-opportunity a success.
