GERMANY - (May 7, 2025)
On Saturday, May 10th, there is a great matchup in women's boxing, when Nina Meinke steps into
the ring at the Stadthalle in Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, to
defend her IBF Featherweight World title against the formidable Daniela Romina
Bermudez. This anticipated rematch promises to deliver an exciting
showdown, rekindling the rivalry sparked during their first encounter back in
September 2024. The two will once again be fighting 12 rounds at three minutes
per round.
A Look Back: Their First Encounter
The previous clash between Meinke and Bermudez was was a closely fought contest. It took place on September 21, 2024, where Meinke captured the IBF
title through a razor-thin Majority decision. The fight showcased not only the
technical proficiency of both fighters but also their relentless determination
to secure victory.
Meinke aims to solidify
her reign and prove that her first victory wasn’t a fluke, while Bermudez we are
sure is determined to reclaim her honor and the championship belt.
Regardless of the outcome, this fight serves as the growing
visibility of women’s boxing and the incredible athletes within the sport. Both
fighters have committed themselves to this moment, and as they step into the
ring, they carry the hopes of their respective supporters.
