On July 2, 2011 the vacant WBF
womens world bantamweight title
will be on the line when
Germany’s Pia Mazelanik and
Hungary’s Renata Szebeledi meet
inside an open-air ring at the
Regenstorplatz in Lemgo,
Germany. The admission to the
event will be free to all boxing
fans. After the main event,
there will be a public viewing
of the highly anticipated
Wladimir Klitschko versus David
Haye fight for the undisputed
heavyweight championship of the
world.
The main event, of course, will
be the battle between two of the
rising stars in female
bantamweight boxing. At age 23,
Pia Mazelanik (12-3-1) is slowly
graduating into a world class
fighter and will be in for her
very first shot at a major world
title in Lemgo. The hard-hitting
20-year-old Renata Szebeledi
(11-8, 6 K.o.’s) already fought
for the world title three times.
She lost decisions against
Unathi Myekeni for the WBF
womens superbantamweight belt
and against Oksana Vasilieva for
the WBF womens featherweight
crown in 2010. But she also
captured the UBO
superbantamweight strap last
year against Gabriella Insperger.
Still, Szebeledi is considered
the underdog against Mazelanik.
Mazelanik herself is on a
three-fight winning streak. She
last lost in 2009, a very close
split decision to Doris Koehler
– a fighter she had beaten
before. Winning the WBF belt
would fulfill her dream to
become world champion and make
some noise in boxing. The bout
between Mazelanik and Szebeledi
is being promoted by Kai Gutmann
and Thomas Mrutzek of
www.kampfnacht.de.
