With a conclusive knockout, Steve
Suppan won the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) International
Welterweight title on Saturday, May
21, at Het Sporthuis in Abcoude,
Netherlands.
In the main event of a show labeled
“The Evolution of Boxing 8”, Suppan
defeated Georgia´s Bato
Berkatsashvili with a massive
body-shot already in the second
round.
Referee Eric van den Heuvel counted
to eight, and then waved the fight
off as it was clear that
Berkatsashvili would not recover to
continue. Time of stoppage was 2:38.
Suppan (28), who won the Dutch
national title at Light Welterweight
in 2019, improved his professional
ledger to 13-1-1 (6).
23-year-old Berkatsashvili falls to
12-13 (7).
