Niki Adler, Enes Zecirevic Win Big Fights In Russia, Switzerland

On Saturday evening, May 25, the World Boxing Federation crowned a couple of brand new champs as Niki Adler claimed the vacant Women’s Super Middleweight title in Russia, and Enes Zecirevic won the vacant International Super Middleweight crown in Switzerland.

In a rematch of their initial 2011 encounter, won by Adler on points, the German stylist once again defeated Latvian Zane Brige by unanimous decision at the Olymp arena in Volgodonsk, on a show promoted by SKV Boxing. tThis title was recently vacated by another German, Christina Hammer.

Both the fighters definitely came to win, and put on another entertaining fight for the fans, however Adler was often just a little bit busier as well as 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 pro record to 10-0 (6), and Brige is incredibly now just 2-3-1 (1) inside the paid ranks, having won the Latvian national title together with two of the losses being in championship fights.

During the Sporthalle Badbetrieb in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, locally based Bosnian-born Enes Zecirevic dominated the younger, but 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 champ enhanced his undefeated record to 10-0 (6), while Khutsisvili lost his first fight in a bit, after four wins and a draw in his last five, and drops to 26-19-5 (19).

Team Cale Boxing Promotion and Leonardo Caputo were the Promoters.
