(SEPT 30)  Myriam Dellal from France and Bulgarian Milena Koleva are set to fight for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens World Light Welterweight title on Friday October 9 in Clermont Ferrand, France.

Dellal, 11-5-3 (2), turned professional in 2008 and has won French national titles at Super Featherweight and Lightweight. She twice challenged for European crowns, and last year she won a regional championship by defeating the always game Loli Munoz from Spain.

Having only come up short against top-class opposition, this will be her first challenge for a world championship, and while she must be considered a favourite fighting on home soil, Dellal (36) can expect a tough assignment in 27-year-old Koleva.

Nicknamed “Hells Baby”, Milena Koleva also made her paid debut in 2008. While her 6-5-1 (0) record looks mediocre on paper, she has proved on several occasions that she can fight and be successful at a very high level.

In 2011 she fought to a draw against Finland´s undefeated Eva Wahlstroem, who went on to capture the European and WBC World Super Featherweight titles, and in 2012 she beat Nicole Boss from Switzerland, who would later win the European Lightweight crown.

In her most recent outing, this past June, Koleva won a minor title with a shut-out ten-round unanimous decision over Brazilian champion Aline de Cassia Scaranello (8-1) in Germany, so she will face Dellal full of confidence that she can take home the WBF world title.

The Myriam Dellal vs. Milena Koleva World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Light Welterweight title fight will be promoted by Pierre Robin.
