(MARCH 24) More than 5000
spectators watched at the MHP Arena in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and
many more on TV in Slovenia, as Ema Kozin became a two-weight
World Boxing Federation (WBF) world champion and successfully
defended her WIBA World title on Saturday night, March 23, 2019.
Already the reigning WBF World
Champion at Middleweight, Kozin won the vacant WBF Women's World
Super Middleweight title, scoring a unanimous decision, in a
decent but unspectacular fight, over Sanna Turunen from Finland.
Although Turunen was bleeding
from a cut on the nose in the last round, she never looked in
danger of getting stopped in the fight, but judges Herbert Urich,
Andreas Mueller and Helmut Ranze all had her clearly behind at
the end, with scores of 98-92, 99-92 and 97-93 respectively.
“The Princess” Kozin, a
20-year-old Southpaw from Ljubljana, is now the youngest
two-weight WBF World Champion in history, she was only eighteen
when capturing the Middleweight crown, and improves her record
to 16-0-1 (8). Turunen drops to 5-3-1 (1).
