Germany has a new champion in women’s boxing, as local favorite Raja
Amasheh captured her first professional title by lifting the WBF
Intercontinental Flyweight championship on Saturday night,
in Sankt Ingbert.
Amasheh beat former world title-challenger Fleij Djendji from Serbia
by unanimous decision, and improved her impressive unbeaten record to
14-0-1 (3). Djendji is now 14-15-1 (8).
The new champion took control from the get-go, and Djendji was
quickly marked around the face and boxed most of the 10 rounds with a
badly swollen left eye. But the action was good and fast, and while
Amasheh always had the edge and pressured her opponent, it was an
entertaining battle between well-matched boxers.
In the end the judges scored the bout 100-89 (Bernd Hupfer) and
100-90 twice (Alexander Plumanns and Uwe Lorch). Referee was Herbert
Urich.
The show, held at the Industriekathedrale Alte Schmelz in Sankt
Ingbert, was promoted by Oliver Heib and his Dog Event Boxing, and
featured five more professional bouts and two professional K1 contest.
