Segolele “Majestic” Lefebvre
takes on Venezuelan Ana Maria
Lozano in her fifth defense of
the World Boxing Federation
(WBF) Womens World Super
Bantamweight title on Saturday
October 26 at the Complexe
Sportif Gayant in her home-town
of Douai, France.
Undefeated Lefebvre, 12-0 (1),
beat Simone Da Silva for the
title in March of 2017, and has
since fended off challenges from
Naroyuki Koasicha, former world
champions Gabriela Bouvier and
Yesica Patricia Marcos, and
Laura Soledad Griffa.
While she lacks devastating
punching-power, the excellent
boxing skills of Lefebvre are
firmly establishing her at the
top of her division, and, at
only twenty-six years of age,
her ceiling appears to be very
high. But in Lozano, 16-9-1
(13), she will almost certainly
get a tough test.
Perennial contender Ana Maria
Lozano (33) has competed at the
absolute top level for the last
six years. But, while she has
won various regional titles, she
has amazingly come up short in
no less than seven challenges
for various world titles at
Bantamweight, Super Bantamweight
and Featherweight.
Against Lefebvre she will be
fighting outside Venezuela for
the eleventh time, and, with a
clear advantage in power, she
has declared that she has no
intention of leaving things in
the hands of the judges. It
remains to be seen if her
persistence pays off.
Lefebvre vs. Lozano for the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Super Featherweight
title is the main event of a
show promoted by Robert Pantigny
and the Douai Boxing Club.
