(OCT 15) Segolele “Majestic”
Lefebvre takes on Venezuelan Ana Maria Lozano in her fifth
defense of the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens World Super
Bantamweight title on Saturday October 26 at the Complexe
Sportif Gayant in her home-town of Douai, France.
Undefeated Lefebvre, 12-0 (1), beat Simone Da Silva for the
title in March of 2017, and has since fended off challenges from
Naroyuki Koasicha, former world champions Gabriela Bouvier and
Yesica Patricia Marcos, and Laura Soledad Griffa.
While she lacks devastating punching-power, the excellent boxing
skills of Lefebvre are firmly establishing her at the top of her
division, and, at only twenty-six years of age, her ceiling
appears to be very high. But in Lozano, 16-9-1 (13), she will
almost certainly get a tough test.
Perennial contender Ana Maria Lozano (33) has competed at the
absolute top level for the last six years. But, while she has
won various regional titles, she has amazingly come up short in
no less than seven challenges for various world titles at
Bantamweight, Super Bantamweight and Featherweight.
Against Lefebvre she will be fighting outside Venezuela for the
eleventh time, and, with a clear advantage in power, she has
declared that she has no intention of leaving things in the
hands of the judges. It remains to be seen if her persistence
pays off.
Lefebvre vs. Lozano for the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens
World Super Featherweight title is the main event of a show
promoted by Robert Pantigny and the Douai Boxing Club.
