On Saturday May 2 in Tbilisi, Georgia, two World Boxing Federation (WBF) championship fights topped a bill at the New Olympic Sports Palace.
WBF Interim world Middleweight champion Givi Todua showed his class when he stopped brave but outgunned Filipino Elmo Traya in the second round.
It was a statement performance from Todua, who improved his undefeated record to 7-0 (5). Traya travels home at 16-7 (11).
The ceiling is very high for Todua, only 21 years old and a pro for less than two years, who is hoping to clash with Kazakhstan´s full WBF world champion Viktor Temirov in the near future.
Israeli Yan “Terminator” Zak was successful in his first pro title bout when he captured the vacant WBF International Cruiserweight belt.
With his fourth fight in Georgia, Zak (26) took his record to 7-0 (5) when he stopped Arshdeep Singh Batth, now 11-3 (9) in five rounds.
