(JULY 19) This week WBAN
received a press release on an upcoming bout that will feature former World Super
Welterweight Champion Chris "El Bombon Asesino" Namus who face
the WBF Middleweight champion Ema Kozin in a ten round bout,
that will take place on September 5, 2020, in Donauworth,
Germany.
Namus, 25-5 (8), was scheduled to challenge Kozin, 19-0-1 (10),
pre Covid-19 lock-down, but it was unclear if it would be
possible to reschedule the match-up due to various restrictions.
However, it now looks like the mouth-watering fight is once
again on.
The 32-year-old from Uruguay had three failed world
title-challenges, at Light Welterweight and Welterweight, before
winning the IBF World Super Welterweight title in August of 2017
when she defeated Yamila Esther Reynoso from Argentina.
She made one successful defense against compatriot Katia
Alvarino, before losing her crown to Marie Eva Dicaire in Canada
in December of 2018. Now she gets the opportunity to become a
two-weight world champion against Slovenian Kozin.
Kozin (21), also the WBF World Champion at Super Middleweight,
will be making her third defense of the WBF World Middleweight
title.
