Cristina Garganese has stepped in to fight Puneh Akhoondtabar for the Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Inter-Continental Featherweight title on March 29 in Molfetta, Italy.

 
 

Originally Akhoondtabar (8-3-1, 4 KOs) was scheduled to fight Michela Braga for the title in Giuliani on March 1, but Braga is out and Garganese is in, and date and venue has also changed.


28-year-old Garganese brings a modest 3-2 (0) record, but has proved her worth in her five bouts since turning pro in September of 2023.


Last time out, last November, she gave Bianca Voglino a tough fight for the Italian national title, losing by decision after ten competitive rounds.


 
 

Before that she had won three straight since losing her debut on points to European title-challenger and current Spanish champion Natalia Francesca, including victories over undefeated Fabiola Aggio and Giulia Lamagna.

Promoted by International Events Napoleone in association with Accademia Pugilistica Andriese, the fight will be broadcast in Italy by Sky Sports.
