(MAY 26) Last night the
World Boxing Federation crowned two new champions as Nikki Adler
won the vacant Womens World Super Middleweight title in Russia,
and Enes Zecirevic captured the vacant International Super
Middleweight crown in Switzerland.
In a rematch of their original 2011 encounter, won by Adler on
points, the German stylist again beat Latvian Zane Brige by
unanimous decision at the Olympic arena in Volgodonsk, on a show
promoted by SKV Boxing. The title was recently vacated by
another German, Christina Hammer.
Both fighters clearly came to win, and put on another
entertaining fight for the fans, but Adler was often just a
little bit busier and more precise with her punches.
In the end judges Alexander Margushin, Irene Kostenko and
Alexander Kalinkin all scored in favour of Adler: 98-93, 99-92
and 98-92. Referee was Irakly Malazonia.
26-year-old Adler took her professional ledger to 10-0 (6), and
Brige is incredibly now only 2-3-1 (1) in the paid ranks, having
won the Latvian national title and with two of the losses being
in championship bouts.
At the Sporthalle Badbetrieb in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, locally
based Bosnian-born Enes Zecirevic dominated the younger, but
much more experienced, Mikheil Khutsisvili from Georgia.
After ten rounds of boxing, judges Jean-Marcel Nartz, Domenico
Gottardi and Beat Hausammann all had Zecirevic clearly ahead
with scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91. Referee in this one was
Fabian Guggenheim.
The new WBF International champion improved his undefeated
record to 10-0 (6), while Khutsisvili lost his first bout in a
while, after four wins and a draw in his last five, and drops to
26-19-5 (19).
Promoters were Team CALE Boxing Promotion and Leonardo Caputo.
