Christina Hammer,  World Middleweig​ht Title Defense In Brno on April 5th

World Boxing Federation a.s.b.l. (WBF)

Christina Hammer, World Middleweight Title Defense In Brno on April 5th

21 years old, and considered the number-one female middleweight in the
world, Christina Hammer is making her third defense of the World Boxing
Federation World title on Thursday April 5 at the Vodova Arena in Brno,
Czech Republic.

Hammer, 11-0 (7), is taking on South African challenger Julie “Queen”
Tshabalala, 4-1-1 (1), on a show promoted by SES Boxing that also features
a championship fight between local hero Lukas Konecny and Frenchman Salim
Larbi.

Born in Novodolinka, Kazakhstan, the nationalized German has become
something of a Globetrotting champion, winning the WBF World title in
Slovenia in February 2011 and defending it in the Czech Republic three
months later before returning to Germany for her second defense last
October. Now she will go back to the Czech Republic for the Tshabalala
encounter.

Julie Tshabalala from Johannesburg is the reigning South African
Middleweight Champion. Making her professional debut in August 2008, she
captured the national title almost exactly a year later with a ten-round
unanimous decision over Bomkazi Klaas. She defended the title the
following year in a rematch with Klaas, and again last summer with a
stoppage over Lilian Molala.

While Hammer has five more professional bouts than Tshabalala, and been in
four title fights compared to the South Africans three, the champion will
do herself a favor by not underestimating her challenger who is known for
her fighting spirit and determination.   The Christina Hammer vs. Julie
Tshabalala WBF Women’s World Middleweight title fight will be streamed
live and exclusively to the world via www.bild.de from 8 PM local time.

Ju Hee Kim Retains WBF World Title

South Korea icon and hero Ju Hee Kim showed exactly why she is the light
flyweight champion with an emphatic 6th round stoppage over the game
Ploynapa Sakrungrueng from Thailand to retain her World Boxing Federation
World Title Friday March 30 in Seoul.

Before a packed University Hall of almost three thousand, Kim thrilled the
many students at the university where she studied with a dominant display,
and improved her impressive record to 16-1-1 (7). Sakrungrueng dropped to
5-2 (0).

After an even and slow paced first round, Ju Hee showed impressive skills
and a good work rate, while Sakrungrueng was always dangerous on the
counter. However, as the fight wore on the champion gained more and more
control, and finally overwhelmed the challenger in the sixth.

Ju Hee will defend again in North Korea at the end of the year. Special
mention must be made of WBF representative Moon Sung for his outstanding
contribution to the excellence of the event. WBF Supervisor in attendance
was president Howard Goldberg from South Africa.
