Boxer Baraou has claimed the title of world champion
Abass Baraou, a 30-year-old German boxer, has made history by securing the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight championship last month in Orlando, USA. The victory came in the form of an interim title, as the reigning champion Terence Crawford had vacated the title to compete in a different weight class.
In a 12-round contest, Baraou faced the previously undefeated Cuban Yoenis Tellez. The referees made a unanimous points decision in favour of Baraou, securing his interim title victory. This triumph paved the way for Baraou to step up and become the full champion.
Despite the promotion, Baraou has expressed no special plans for celebrations. Instead, he is already looking forward to his next title defence. According to the WBA's rules and regulations, the date for this highly-anticipated event will be announced soon.
Baraou, who commutes between Oberhausen and Berlin, has proven his mettle in the ring. His interim title victory was a unanimous decision, a testament to his skill and determination. The specific weight class that Baraou is now champion in is the super welterweight class.
A spokesperson for Wasserman Boxing confirmed Baraou's promotion to full world champion, citing a letter from the WBA. This interim title victory was a significant step in Baraou's career, setting the stage for his upcoming title defence and celebrations.
