WBAN is very excited to announce that we will be making another
"History First" with an upcoming fight that will take
place at the Cloetta Center, in Linkoping, Sweden.
Frida “Golden Girl” Wallberg,
11-0-0 (2KO), of Gothenberg, Sweden, will be fighting Diana
Prazak, 11-1-0 (7KO), for the WBAN Super Featherweight World
title on November 16, 2012. Frida is currently ranked #1 in our
independent world ratings Prazak is rated #3. In addition with
the federation belts, Wallberg and Prazak will be fighting for
the WBC, IBF and WIBA super featherweight world titles.
About Wallberg: 5'6" Frida Wallberg had a very successful
amateur boxing career, compiling a 48-5 record at the national
and international levels before turning pro as a lightweight in
February 2004.
About Prazak: Junior lightweight Diana Prazak was born in
Altona, Melbourne, Australia, to parents Zeljko and Louise, who
are of Croatian and Maltese descent. Prazak - who owns a
successful IT business called DiTec Solutions - joined the
BoxingFit Gym in Altona in 2008 as a heavy smoker weighing 196
lbs who was looking to shed some weight through boxing training.
The former bodybuilder became hooked on the sport and asked gym
owner and coach Mick Hargraves if he would train her to fight.
She competed as an amateur and was undefeated in six fights,
winning the Victoria junior welterweight title in her third
fight and the Australian junior welterweight national title in
her fourth.
About the WBAN Belts: In 2004, WBAN made a decision to have
independent world title belts for only the very top women boxers
in our computerized and independent world ratings, created and
produced by Dee Williams.
Full details of WBAN Belts
We were offered many cards for the WBAN belts from 2004 – 2007,
but the offers we had for women to fight for the belts were not
approved by our independent WBAN Board, who makes that decision
to approve a fight or not.
In June of 2008, on a Pay-Per-View card, we pro debuted
the WBAN belts in two world title matches between Holly Holm vs.
Mary Jo Sanders (both ranked #1 in catch weight categories), and
Chevelle Hallback vs. Jeannine Garside (both ranked #1 in catch
weight categories). Holly Holm and Hallback were our history
trailblazers for winning the first-ever WBAN Belts. From there
we have had many fights with the best, including a first-ever
WBAN championship taking place in France between Myriam Lamare
vs. Ann Marie Saccurato.
