JI-HYE WOO PUTS HER IFBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE ON LINE AGAINST TOP CHALLENGER RHONDA LUNA

HENDERSON, NEVADA /SANGJU, SOUTH KOREA—The International Female Boxers Association (IFBA), fresh off championship fights in September and October, showcases yet another title matchup on Saturday, November 28 when IFBA Super Featherweight Champion Ji-Hye Woo defends her belt against Rhonda Luna.

Woo (10-1, 1 KO) is riding a wave of tremendous success. She hasn’t lost a bout since 2005 and has won her last five bouts by unanimous decision. Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Woo will have the fans in Sang-Ju fully behind her.

But the fans won’t rankle Luna (15-1-2, 2 KO). A veteran fighter, whose only loss came in a split decision loss to Kelsey Jefferies in a title bout, Luna is hoping to rediscover the form that led her to victories in her first 10 fights.

The 10-round bout will take place at the Sang-Ju Gymnasium in Sang-Ju, South Korea.
