More Sport Delfine Person is, and will remain, certainly until march 2019, the world champion in the lightweights. Tonight she defended for the eighth time, with success, her WBC title.
Just before the tenth round was done, decided the referee that it was enough. Delfine Person had the Kenyan Judy Waguthii all the corners of the ring. So won the 33-year old West-Flemish, with a technical knockout. A justified decision, for example, her trainer Filiep Tampere: “The referee did the job of the cornerman. He had been Tipobet faster, the towel should throw. Yet it was all lost when, for the Kenyan.” The person nodded: “I have still a couple of times purely on the chin hit. I saw her eyes turn away but she remained upright. They could well collect. I don’t know if I could have done. It is good that they are a ko. Now she is allowed three months of boxing, otherwise after about four weeks, back into the ring steps. For her own health, this was the best decision.”
Person was in the sports hall at The Ark in Ardooie on her guard for the 33-year-old Waguthii. “That’s right, because I knew that they counterbokser. And they weigh three-four pounds more, that is still a big difference so I wanted to not have flown. That is frustrating but I had a little bit of probing. I felt then that it was all about. Late in swing shot, hey (laughs). Filiep warned me to not have her try to finish, because just then she is dangerous. I would not in one second lost everything, but I was physically in the end more than enough in my tank. I could still five rounds to continue.”
Now Person her title extended – she dominates now since april 2014, the class of the lightweights in the WBC – it seems Katie Taylor, world titles when the IBF and WBO in his hands, her no longer could escape. “That camp is coming, hey. If it should be in Las Vegas, if possible here in Belgium. We go at least an attempt, because in the U.S., will Taylor be protected. Then I have been with ko win or three classes are stronger.”
Long can Delfine Person not enjoy her triumph. Today she is almost a chore to clean the sports hall and tomorrow they are at work in the federal police are expected to have evaluations to make.
