Finally World Boxing Association super featherweight champion Hyun Mi Choi made another successful defense against Canadian Vanessa Bradford today in Seoul, South Korea. 

In a fight that began with analysis from both, measuring their movements, Choi managed to dominate the Canadian boxer who knew how to use her punches to the middle area. Already after the third round of the fight, both were taking punishment from each other. 

After a little more than a year of inactivity, the champion found herself in the ring with some difficulties that she was able to solve and got another victory, but this time in a close way. 

Choi won the belt in August 2013 and at 31 years old, the South Korea-based Choi is undefeated with 20 victories, 5 of which have been by knockout and only 1 draw, which was her second presentation as a professional fighter after her debut in October 2008. 

Vanessa Bradford, nicknamed “Tisiga”, came into the fight with 6 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws. Two of her defeats were against top boxers Alycia Baumgardner and Mikaela Mayer. At the age of 38, Bradford has now suffered her fourth setback. 

Choi’s next challenge is expected to be against the new unified champion Alycia Baumgardner, who has already challenged her.


Dubois will defend against Lerena on December 3
