Karlsruhe, Germany will take center stage in the 105-pound division on October 31th, when hometown champion Sarah “Babyface” Bormann puts her WBA minimumweight world title on the line against undefeated Spanish challenger Chaima Bounouar (7-0). Bormann (27-1) is a disciplined boxer with a solid work rate who typically builds her victories by controlling distance behind her lead left hand and managing the rounds with veteran composure. The German champion will look to establish her rhythm from the opening bell, preventing the challenger from gaining confidence while dictating the pace with crisp, straight-punch combinations.

 

Across the ring, Bounouar faces the biggest challenge of her professional career. She arrives in Germany with the confidence, hunger, and momentum that come with an unblemished record. She knows there is little room for a cautious approach on the road. Her strategy will revolve around closing the distance aggressively, applying steady pressure to breach the champion’s guard, and targeting the body to wear down Bormann and limit her mobility in the middle rounds.
