OCTOBER 23 / BY UBO PRESS OFFICER

 
UBO  -  Universal Boxing Organization™

Kazakhstani star Angelina Lukas was originally set to fight for the Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) International Bantamweight title on October 2 in her home-country, but the show was unfortunately pulled on short notice.

 
 

Instead Lukas (25) was rescheduled for Saturday, October 22, in Istanbul, where she took on Ukrainian Olena Gurieva in very unique settings, as part of a card staged on board a ship in the Turkish city´s harbour.

The former amateur stand-out didn't give her more experienced opponent, who had gone the full distance with current European champion Stephanie Silva, a chance to get started, as she came out aggressively and took control from the first second.

Lukas, now 2-0 (1) in the pros, boxed an almost perfect fight, and showed why she is considered a potential future world champion before forcing a third round stoppage.


 
 

Of course it was a challenge fighting in a different country, but I raised our flag and I am bringing the title back To Kazakhstan”, said a jubilant Lukas after the bout.

It doesn't matter where the put the ring, in a dessert or on a ship, as was the case today, I just want to fight and I am happy with my performance.”

In the main event of the show, former UBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight titlist Serdar Avci moved down to Cruiserweight where he won the WBC International Silver title by defeating Nigerian Tony Salam.
