If the action in the ring lives
up to the “Queens of War”
billing which has been attached
to the event, fans are in for a
treat when World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens World
Super Welterweight champion Noni
Tenge defends her title against
Hungary´s Szilvia Szabados on
Friday March 18.
Tenge, who won the WBF world
title last December with a
unanimous decision over
compatriot Julie Tshabalala,
will clash with Szabados at the
Durban International Convention
Centre in South Africa, on a
show promoted by Mileham &
Malinga.
As one of the most accomplished
female boxers in the sport,
Tenge has compiled an impressive
15-1-1 (10) record and captured
WBF, IBF and WBA world titles at
Welterweight before moving up to
Super Welterweight for the
Tshabalala encounter last year.
In 25-year-old Szilvia “Sunset”
Szabados, 11-5 (4), she will be
facing a tough and experienced
competitor in her first
title-defense. While the
Hungarian has yet to make her
big breakthrough, she has
repeatedly proven her worth
against some of the best at
world level.
In 2014 she lost a decision to
fellow Hungarian Zita Zatyko for
the WBF world Super Middleweight
crown, and the following year
she came up short, also on
points, in a WBC world Super
Middleweight title-challenge
against undefeated Nikki Adler
in Germany.
Coming off a convincing victory
in Slovakia this past February,
she is now down at her more
natural weight, and has traveled
to South Africa with the
intention of causing a big upset
and taking home the WBF world
Super Welterweight championship.
