Former UBO world
title-challenger Prisca Vicot (11-6, 2
KOs) from France is set for another big
opportunity, as she fights former title-holder
Christina Linardatou (12-2, 6 KOs) for
the vacant WBO World Super Lightweight title on
February 8 in Hammond, USA.
Vicot
lost a decision to Alicia Melina Kummer
for the UBO world title last March, a fight
which was later given UBO 2019 Fight of the Year
honors.
Still
going (very) strong at forty-three years of age,
she has since captured WBF, GBU and WIBF world
titles.

Former UBO
Inter-Conttinetal Super Welterweight Champion,
Sirmongkhon Iamthuam (97-4, 62 KOs) from
Thailand is also still going strong, aged
forty-two. His career is extraordinary, to say
the least, with a remarkable climb up through
the weight-classes.
Iamthuam
(AKA Sirimongkol Singwancha) started his career
as a Flyweight in 1994, won the WBU world title
at Super Flyweight in 1995, and then WBC and WBU
world titles at Bantamweight in 1995 and 1996.
In 2002
he captured the WBC world Super Featherweight
crown, and in 2007 the PABA Super Lightweight
title. In 2012 he added something called the WBC
Asian Boxing Council Continental Welterweight
belt to his collection.
In 2014
he won the WBO Asia-Pacific title at Super
Welterweight, and in 2017 the UBO
Inter-Continental Super Welterweight title.
In
September of 2018, in what was his one-hundredth
outing, he became Thai national Light
Heavyweight Champion. This past December he
returned to the ring with a second round
stoppage in a non-title fight.
