Frenchman Patrick Bois is the new World Boxing Federation International Light Heavyweight Champion after winning a unanimous decision over tough Ukrainian Serhiy Demchenko Saturday night.
The pair fought on a big card promoted by Driss Khelaffi and his Khelladdi Group at the luxurious Mazagan Beach Resort in El Jadida, Morocco.
After a competitive and entertaining encounter, judges Ali Herbachi, Smail Alitouche and Nordine Famidi scored the bout 95-94, 97-94 and 99-94. Referee in charge was Christophe Hembert.
With the victory the 22-year old Bois improves his professional record to 9-1-1 (2), while Italy-based Serhiy Demchenko (33) drops to 14-5 (10).
The new champion is now obligated to face former titlist Mounir Toumi (15-11, 5 KOs) from Germany, who vacated the championship on this condition after having to pull out of fighting Bois.
This was the first time the WBF sanctioned a title fight in Morocco, but it is hoped that many more will follow in the North African country this year and in years to come.
