WBF Intercontinental Champion Elfi Phillips is forced to retire

WBF Intercontinental Champion Elfi Phillips is forced to retire | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

“I will never box again”, she sighs. World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Light Welterweight Champion Elfi Phillips from Belgium has been forced to retire.

Recently the calcareous growth and cartilage of both hips were removed, and the doctors have forbidden her to put any heavy burden on them from now on.

Two major hip surgeries is something you would expect to hear about a 70-year-old person, and not a 28-year-old professional boxer.

Worn out because she was always incorrectly trained, worked too much with heavy weights to get stronger.

And because she never listened to the doctors! She consulted eight specialists in seven different hospitals, and the verdict was always the same: Too much, incorrect training.

Even running is now forbidden. The last year she made progress with her new trainer, but the damage had already been done.

Phillips made her pro debut in 2013 with a draw. She was stopped in her second fight.

But this didn’t discourage her, and she just trained harder to take on all comers. She fought to a draw with Myriam Dellal in their first fight in France, and lost on points in the rematch for the WBC Silver title, again in France.

She lost on points to undefeated Ewa Brodnicka in Poland for the European title. She fought like a Tasmanian devil, small for her weight class, always attacking and giving her all.

She won the Belgian national Light Welterweight title in 2015, and in 2019 she became WBF Intercontinental Champion.

She only had one more fight after that, a victory that same year. Then the pain was too much, and she could not postpone surgery any longer.

She retires with a record of 11-5-4 (4), knowing that the best (in the ring) was still to come but will never be.

Andranik Hakobyan vs. Alessandro Fersula

Trafo Halle, Baden, Switzerland – 11 December 2021

Former Swiss national champion Andranik Hakobyan, 15-1-2 (6), is set to fight for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Welterweight title on Saturday, December 11, in Baden, Switzerland.

At the Trafo Halle, the 32-year-old Armenian-born fighter will take on undefeated Italian Alessandro Fersula, who comes in from Rome with a 6-0 (1) record.

Hakobyan turned pro in 2015, and went unbeaten in his first eleven bouts before losing in an upset to Hungarian Zoltan Szabo in 2018 in Germany.

The previous year he had captured the vacant Swiss Light Welterweight title, defeating Cedric Kassongo in Geneva.

In 2019 he missed out on adding the Welterweight national title to his resume, when he was held to a draw by Ricardo Silva.

Since then he has won two, and is now ready for what is arguably his most important fight to date against Fersula.

The Italian is entering new territory, as this will be his first championship fight in the paid ranks. However, he will relish his underdog role against an opponent who has been hot and cold in the past.

Vacant WBF Intercontinental Heavyweight Title

Turkish born German Edi Delibaltaoglu will face Finnish veteran Sami Enbom for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Heavyweight title on Saturday, December 4, at Sartory Saele in Cologne, Germany.

Hard-punching Delibaltaoglu, 7-5 (7), may have a spotted record, but he has won his last three fights, including one for the German International title when he stopped Argentinian Ricardo Ramirez in two rounds.

In Sami “Boom Boom” Enbom, 19-7 (11), he will be in with his most experienced foe since losing to Francesco Pianeta in 2017.

Southpaw Enbom (34) has challenged for several regional titles in the past, but so far victory has escaped him in his biggest fights. He will be highly motivated to change that against Delibaltaoglu.

The fight, promoted by Ring Stars Germany, will be the co-featured bout of the evening along with former WBA World Champion Firat Arslan taking on Alejandro Berrio.

Complexe Sportif Bellegrave in Pessac, France – 3 December 2021

Two World Boxing Federation (WBF) championship fights are set to take place at the Complexe Sportif Bellegrave in Pessac, France on Friday, December 3.

On a card promoted by Spuc Boxe, Cruiserweight Brandon Deslaurier, 12-4-1 (1), will face Vladimir Reznicek, 10-4-2 (4), from the Czech Republic for the vacant WBF International title.

Reznicek has on more than one occasion pulled off an upset on his opponents turf, and will be looking to do just that against Deslaurier.

In the co-main event, Cameroon-born Francis Tchoffo, 19-19-1 (6), receives his second shot at the WBF International Middleweight title, taking on game youngster Nikola Vlajkov, 10-8-1 (6), from Serbia.

In 2019 Tchoffo just came up short in his first attempt to win the title, when he drew with Georgian Jemal Shalamberidze.

Vlajkov has won his last two bouts by stoppage, one of them in France last June when he handed prospect Medi Boufoudi his first defeat.

Riding that momentum, he will undoubtedly fancy his chances against Tchoffo in Pessac.

Underdog Moabi Nqaka defeated domestic rival Onkarabile Mothibedi and took his World Boxing Federation (WBF) International Super Bantamweight title on Friday night, October 29, at the Grand Palm Hotel in Gaborone, Botswana.

While the defending champion started best, it was challenger Nqaka who gained momentum from round two on and out-worked Mothibedi, at times physically dominating the favorite who was unable to regain his flow from the first stanza.

As they entered the championship rounds it was apparent that Mothibedi would need something special to retain his title, absorbing more and more punishment as the fight went on. In round eleven referee Ben Ncapyi had seen enough, and rescued him. Time of stoppage: 2:40.

The new WBF International Champion improved his professional record to 6-2 (2), scoring by far his biggest victory to date. Mothibedi falls to 6-3 (1).

It was an impressive performance, and besides improving his professional record to 34-4-2 (23) it earns him WBF Boxer of the Month honors for September 2021.

Thato Bonokoane vs. Tholumusa Ngema

Pietermarizburg, South Africa 10/10/21

Two former World Boxing Federation (WBF) Champions will get another chance to hold a WBF title, when they clash for the vacant Intercontinental Super Bantamweight crown on October 10 in Pietermarizburg, South Africa.

Former WBF All Africa ruler Thato Bonokoane, AKA “Captain Charisma”, squares off with compatriot, and former International titlist, Tholumusa Ngema in the main event of a show promoted by Nomvelo Boxing Promotions.

A pro since 2013, Bonokoane, 10-4-3 (7), became a WBF champion in 2017, and made one successful defense of the title the following year.

Ngema, 6-1-3 (1), won his WBF title on away soil in May of 2019 when he defeated local hero Tshepang Babui by close but unanimous decision in Botswana, but never got a chance to defend it.

For both men it is a welcomed chance to get their careers back on track, but only one of them can emerge victorious and both have proclaimed they will leave everything in the ring to win a second WBF belt on October 10.

Shefat Isufi vs. Tomas Adamek Result

Hansehalle in Luebeck, Germany 4/9/21

Former world title-challenger Shefat Isufi convincingly beat Tomas Adamek on Saturday night, September 4, to win the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Light Heavyweight title at the Hansehalle in Luebeck, Germany.

Germany´s Isufi dropped Adamek in rounds five and ten, but the tough Czech survived the counts of referee Dominic Kuhaupt both times, and never stopped trying his best.

But after ten rounds of boxing, there was no doubt at all that Isufi had won clearly. The judges scores were 99-90, 98-91 and 98-90.

Isufi improved his professional record to 32-4-2 (23). Adamek is now 29-20-2 (10).

The new Intercontinental champion called out WBF World Light Heavyweight Champion Tim Robin Lihaug from Norway immediately after the fight.

The fight headlined a show promoted by former Heavyweight contender Alexander Petkovic.

Shefat Isufi vs. Tomas Adamek

Hansehalle in Luebeck, Germany 4/9/21

World Boxing Federation (WBF) championship boxing will headline, when Petko´s Boxing promotes at the Hansehalle in Luebeck, Germany on Saturday September 4.

Former world title-challenger Shefat Isufi, 31-4-2 (23), takes on the Czech Republic´s Tomas “Jumbo” Adamek, 29-19-2 (10), with the vacant WBF Intercontinental Light Heavyweight title at stake.

Serbian-born Munich resident Isufi, a former holder of numerous regional belts, lost a decision to Billy Joe Saunders in a fight for the vacant WBO World Super Middleweight title in 2019. Since then he has won four straight.

Adamek won the WBF International title in 2015, and has a victory over current WBF World Light Heavyweight Champion Tim Robin Lihaug, whom he beat by decision in Oslo, Norway in 2017.

A veteran of fifteen title fights, he captured the Czech national title in 2018, and must be considered a very live underdog in what will be his seventh fight in Germany.

Besides winning the WBF Intercontinental title, the winner will also put himself in prime position to challenge for the world title against Lihaug.

Two new World Boxing Federation (WBF) champions were crowned in Mexico on Saturday, July 24, while one WBF champion retained his title and a new titlist was belted on Sunday, July 25, in South Africa.

In Chiapas, Mexico, local hero Cesar Armando “Jaguar” Marquez stopped previously undefeated Ricardo Cortez from El Salvador in nine rounds to win the vacant WBF World Super Welterweight title.

Cortez started the fight strong, but was knocked down at the end of round one. In round two the visitor knocked Marquez down, but from round three the home man started to take over while Cortez began to tire.

In round nine Marques was in full control and scored two knock-downs, forcing referee Ray Armendariz to save the brave but clearly hurt Cortez from more punishment.

The new WBF World Super Welterweight Champion improved his professional record to 10-1-1 (7). Ricardo Cortez falls to 9-1-1 (7).

In a very entertaining all-Mexican scrap on the same card, Ulises “Chino” Moguel captured the vacant WBF Intercontinental Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Ruben Estrella.

Judge Carlos Gomez Santiago scored the fight 96-94, while judges Fernando Renteria and Ray Armendariz saw it wider at 98-92 and 100-90. Moguel improved to 8-0 (5), Estrella drops to 8-5-2 (3).

The following day in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Thembelani Okolo retained the WBF International Strawweight title with a stoppage in eight rounds of Phumlani Maloni.

Making his first title-defense, Okolo looked strong all the way as he improved his pro ledger to 10-5-1 (6)). Maloni, coming off two solid victories, is now 6-4 (3).

In the co-featured bout, former South African champion Luzuko Siyo stopped WBF All Africa Champion Sanele Magwaza in round nine to lift the vacant WBF Intercontinental Bantamweight title.

Following knock-downs in rounds eight and nine, referee Stephen Simon waved it off. Siyo took his record to 18-5 (15), and Magwaza is now 5-2 (2).

Travis Hanshaw vs. Anthony Young

Boyd County Community Center, Kentucky, USA 31/7/21

Travis “Rattlesnake” Hanshaw, 17-1-1 (8), the World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Super Middleweight Champion, has patiently been waiting to make his first defense of the title he won over two years ago.

The 29-year-old from Ashland, Kentucky, has fought twice since becoming world champion, both times winning low-profile stay-busy fights, but due to the pandemic it has not been possible to arrange a title-defense until now.

On July 31 at the Boyd County Community Center in his home-town, Hanshaw will take on Atlantic City´s Anthony “Juice” Young, a former WBC regional titlist who is coming off a victory over former WBO World Champion Sadam Ali.

Young, 21-2 (8), is moving up in weight and has also suffered from inactivity, but he is riding a ten-fight winning-streak and full of belief that he can shock the Hanshaw fans and take home the WBF world title.

The Hanshaw vs. Young WBF World Super Middleweight title fight will headline a card promoted by East Coast Promotions.

Charles Manyushi vs. Mohamad Sebyala Result

Flamboyant Hotel, Masvingo, Zimbabwe – 3/7/21

Charles Manyushi successfully defended the World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Middleweight title on Saturday July 3 on the grounds outside the Flamboyant Hotel in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, fending off game challenger Mohamad Sebyala from Uganda.

It turned out to be a strange event, as governmental permission was only given a week or so before the fight-date, due to Covid concerns, and two WBF title fights set for the undercard were called off two days out when boxers were not allowed to enter Zimbabwe.

Then the entire undercard was canceled due to Covid restrictions, and finally one of the WBF judges assigned for the main event tested positive, forcing South African Elroy Marshal to become a scoring referee.

So with a total of 39 people, including technical staff, in attendance, Manyushi took control of his fight midway through, after losing the first two rounds, and won a deserved unanimous decision.

Judge Patrick Mkondiwa scored it 116-110, while judge Edward Marshall and scoring referee Elroy Marshall both had it 117-109.

Manyushi, who had not fought since winning the title in September of 2019, improved his professional record to 25-4-1 (15). Former Ugandan and East & Central Africa titlist Sebyala drops to 19-14-1 (16).

Promoter was Charles Manyushi Boxing Academy in association with Lionheart Boxing Productions.

Charles Manyuchi vs. Muhamad Sebyala

Flamboyant Hotel in Masvingo, Zimbabwe 3/7/21

World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Middleweight Champion Charles Manyuchi, 24-4-1 (15), is finally set to defend his title on July 3 at the Flamboyant Hotel in Masvingo, Zimbabwe.

The Covid pandemic has prevented Manyushi from defending the title he won in September of 2019 with a third round stoppage of former champion Diego Diaz Gallardo from Argentina, but now it looks like its all systems go for July 3.

His opponent will be former Ugandan and East & Central Africa champion Muhamad Sebyala, 19-13-1 (16), a hard-punching veteran who has done well mixing with good opposition over the years.

On the same bill, undefeated local prospect Tinashe Majoni, 4-0 (1), will take a step up in levels and face Malawian Yusuf Ali, 7-8-1 (3), for the vacant WBF Intercontinental Flyweight title.

Promoted by Charles Manyuchi Academy in association with Lionheart Boxing Productions, the card will be streamed live world-wide by Fite.tv.
