On Saturday night, May 25, the
World Boxing Federation crowned
two new champions as Niki Adler
won the vacant Womens World
Super Middleweight title in
Russia, and Enes Zecirevic
captured the vacant
International Super Middleweight
crown in Switzerland.
In a rematch of their original
2011 encounter, won by Adler on
points, the German stylist again
beat Latvian Zane Brige by
unanimous decision at the Olymp
arena in Volgodonsk, on a show
promoted by SKV Boxing. The
title was recently vacated by
another German, Christina
Hammer.
Both fighters clearly came to
win, and put on another
entertaining fight for the fans,
but Adler was often just a
little bit busier and more
precise with her punches.
In the end judges Alexander
Margushin, Irene Kostenko and
Alexander Kalinkin all scored in
favour of Adler: 98-93, 99-92
and 98-92. Referee was Irakly
Malazonia.
26-year-old Adler took her
professional ledger to 10-0 (6),
and Brige is incredibly now only
2-3-1 (1) in the paid ranks,
having won the Latvian national
title and with two of the losses
being in championship bouts.
At the Sporthalle Badbetrieb in
Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, locally
based Bosnian-born Enes
Zecirevic dominated the younger,
but much more experienced,
Mikheil Khutsisvili from
Georgia.
After ten rounds of boxing,
judges Jean-Marcel Nartz,
Domenico Gottardi and Beat
Hausammann all had Zecirevic
clearly ahead with scores of
100-90, 100-90 and 99-91.
Referee in this one was Fabian
Guggenheim.
The new WBF International
champion improved his undefeated
record to 10-0 (6), while
Khutsisvili lost his first bout
in a while, after four wins and
a draw in his last five, and
drops to 26-19-5 (19).
Promoters were
