Former WBC, WBA, WIBF, WIBA & GBU Bantamweight Champion Anita Christensen (24-1-1, 8 KOs) of Denmark is set to return to the ring on May 26 after more than two years out, when she takes on reigning French Champion Isabelle Leonardi (8-9-2, 3 KOs) at Skyline Arena in hometown Randers.
In Christensen’s last bout, in March 2010, she drew with current WBO Champion Kaliesha West, and has since been on the sidelines while getting her motivation back for another run at a World title. Despite the mediocre record of the Paris-boxer, Christensen will not be facing a pushover in Leonardi, who defended her French national title only last month.
Also on the show promoted by Euro Event will be Light Welterweights Kasper Bruun (13-0-1, 3 KOs) and Kim Poulsen (20-1, 6 KOs), as well as rookie Middleweights Abdul Khattab (1-0, 1 KO) and Stephan Alms (1-0, 1 KO), against opponents to be announced.
Completing the evening’s action, Denmark’s amateur national team will square off against Estonia. Tickets are on sale via www.billetlugen.dk and by phone (0045) 70 263 267.
