NYKØBING FALSTER, denmark (Ekstra Bladet): Sarah Mahfoud continues himmelflugten.
The 29-year-old boxer could, with tears in her eyes, put on the belt as the IBF’s intercontinental champion in the featherweight, when she clearly defeated the south african Bukiwe Nonina at the Danish Fight Night in Nykøbing Falster Hall.
The first phase, the boxers did feel each other on the teeth, but it was Mahfoud, who set the pace.
The long, ranglede Nonina had a longer range than the dane, who, therefore, have to boxes through some annoying jabs to damage the south african.
It succeeded in earnest in the fourth game, where Mahfoud repeatedly hit hard.
At the end of the fifth round even so hard, that the south african had a trip in the canvas.

He can be like his big sister continue to enjoy life as undefeated.
