/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Triple flyweight world champion Susi Kentikian
(26-0, 16 KOs) returns on April 24 at the Sporthalle Hamburg. The
undefeated `Killer Queen' will be defending her WBA/WIBF/WBO belts
against unbeaten challenger Nadia Raoui (11-0-1, 3 KOs) who holds the
WIBA belt. `I'm always excited and very happy when I have a fight in
my hometown,' said Kentikian.
`It will be a difficult and tough fight but I'm used to that. Have
your fingers crossed - so come and see my fight live!' The bout will
be Kentikian's first fight as the headlining fighter on the German ZDF
network. Additional fights will be announced within the next few days,
boxing.de reported.
Susanna "Susi" Kentikian (born on September 11, 1987)[3] is a
German-Armenian professional boxer now residing in Germany. She was
born in Yerevan, Armenian SSR, but she left the country with her
family at the age of five because of the Nagorno-Karabakh War.
Kentikian has lived in Hamburg since 1996 and began boxing when she
was twelve years old. Following a successful amateur career, she
turned professional in 2005 when she signed with the Hamburg boxing
promoter Spotlight Boxing. Kentikian won her first world championship
fight in February 2007, and she is the current World Boxing
Association (WBA), World Boxing Organization (WBO) and Women's
International Boxing Federation (WIBF) world flyweight champion.
Kentikian is undefeated, having won 16 of her 25 professional fights
by knockout. The German television station ZDF broadcasts her fights
since July 2009. She had previously headlined fight cards for the
television station ProSieben from 2007 to 2009. Kentikian has gained
minor celebrity status in Germany, and she hopes to reach popularity
similar to the retired German female boxing star Regina Halmich.
