On Saturday at Palais des sports Marcel Cerdan, Levallois-Perret, Hauts-de-Seine, France,IBF Super Featherweight Champion Maiva Hamadouche (17-1, 14 KOs) will look to keep her 8 match winning streak (dating back to November of 2015) going while defending her belt for the 3rd time against countrywoman Myriam Dellal (15-6-3, 2 KOs).
The IBF Champ has been cruising since challenging Delfine Persoon for her WBC strap in November, 2015, her lone defeat. In 2016, she returned to winning ways while capturing the WBC Silver Lightweight title by stopping Enis Pacheco in Round 2. Six months later, Hamadouche dominated Jennifer Salinas to add the IBF World Championship belt to her waist. Her two previous championship defenses have been stoppages over Milena Koleva and Anahi Sanchez.
Dellal, a 24 bout veteran, is coming off of her 2nd career championship defeat to WBC Champ Persoon in November. She is a perennial championship contender, having won the WBF Super Lightweight title in 2015, won WBC Silver (2016), won WBC International strap (2013), and multiple EBU challenger.
Saturday could be very interesting!
