(SEPT 2) Former two-division
world champion Hee-Jung Yuh made a successful second defense of
the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens Intercontinental Super
Flyweight title on Saturday, August 31, in her home-town of
Gimhae, South Korea.
Using her excellent boxing skills, Yuh fended off the challenge
of game challenger Loetizia Campana, from France but fighting
out of Thailand, scoring a clear unanimous decision after ten
fast-paced and entertaining rounds.
Campana, who had won three straight in Bangkok coming into this
bout, tried to unsettle the more experienced champion, but Yuh
had an answer for everything and appeared to be in control of
the fight from start to finish.
Judges Joong-Suk Kwon, Yeong Jae Yu and Hoo Sik Choi scored the
fight 98-93, 100-94 and 98-94 respectively.
39-year-old Hee-Jung Yuh, who held IFBA and WIBF world titles at
Super Flyweight and Bantamweight between 2012 and 2014, takes
her impressive professional record to 22-3 (11). Loetizia
Campana drops to 8-6 (3).
