Nairobi. Kenya’s boxing queen Fatuma Zarika will fight German champion Elina Tissen for the Global Boxing Union (GBU) super bantamweight title on July 23 in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.It will be the 26-year-old Zarika’s first fight in nine months since she knocked out Uganda’s Eva Zwalago to win the East and Central Africa featherweight title in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

Zarika, a former Women’s International Boxing Federation bantamweight and super bantamweight champion, boasts 23 (14 kayos), four losses and a draw (23-4-1).Her challenger Tissen, 24, also oozes confidence, also having donned joint GBU featherweight and WIBF featherweight titles when she knocked out Briton Juliette Winter in her last fight on March 26. Her record stands at 12 (6)-2-0.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, its Tissen, who outclassed another Kenyan Benedetta Kaloki on January 24, 2009 to win the super belt that she will be defending against Zarika.<\/p>\n

Zarika, who resumed training this month under coach Julius Odhiambo after having taken a sabbatical leave from the ring, is certain of regaining form ahead of the fight. “I am not in good form at the moment but for sure I will be back to my best since I have a tough programme,” said Zarika.<\/p>\n
