Tim Robin Lihaug from Norway is the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Boxer of the Month for March 2020, after winning the WBF World Light Heavyweight title on March 7.
At the Griegehallen in his home-town Bergen, Lihaug gutted out a unanimous decision over tough co-challenger Vartan Avetisyan (18-2-1) from Armenia in a highly entertaining fight.
Having won the WBO European title in his previous outing, this was the next step on the ladder for Lihaug, who had declared that he would retire if not successful in his first world championship bid.
Besides accomplishing a life goal, the 27-year old improved his professional record to 20-4 (10).
