(JULY 7) On July 16, 2016,
at the Max Schmeling Halle, in Berlin in Germany, WBO/WIBF World
Super Featherweight Champion Ramona Kühne, defends her titles
against Ikram Kerwat of Tunisia, who now resides in Germany.
Ramona, who holds a record of
24-1-0, (9 KO), and comes in with 9 consecutive wins, suffering
her only loss, to Ina Menzer, in January of 2010, that took
place in Bordelandhalle, Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany.
About Ramona Kuhne:
5'7" Kühne was born in Berlin, Germany on January 31, 1980. The
younger of two daughters of a truck driver, Kühne preferred to
spend time with her father in his workshop than to play with
girls her age, and played soccer with boys. Her childhood idol
was action superstar Jackie Chan. She tried to emulate Chan and
at age 12 began in the martial art discipline yiu yutsu -
against her parents' will.
Her decision paid off as her yiu yutsu career was crowned with
success. She was the Berlin and German champion several times
and in 2000 she claimed the bronze medal at the world
championship in Sweden.
Kerwat, on the other hand,
has 6 pro bouts, with five of those by KO. Fighting Kuehne
will probably be one of Kerwat's toughest challenges in her
boxing career thus far.
Kerwat began in Judo in her
native Tunisia winning the Africa Championships among other
awards.
At 13 years old, her family relocated to Berlin, Germany, where
she continued practicing Judo, and at age 19, she was introduced
to boxing. Kerwat said that she has loved it ever since!
With the WBO and WIBF World Super Featherweight Crowns at stake
this is sure to be one exciting match up between these two.
