Boxing world champion title holder is Baraou, a professional athlete in the sport.
In a thrilling turn of events, German boxer Abass Baraou has been promoted to the full World Boxing Association (WBA) champion in the super welterweight division. Last month in Orlando, Florida, Baraou secured the interim title in a 12-round fight against undefeated Cuban Yoenis Tellez. The victory was a unanimous points decision by the judges, marking a significant milestone in Baraou's career. The interim title is a temporary solution when a boxer is unable to defend the actual world title. However, Baraou's interim title victory does not affect his next title defense as the full WBA super welterweight world champion. The exact date for his next title defense has not yet been set, with the WBA soon to determine the details according to their rules and regulations. Baraou's interim title win does not change the fact that he is now the full World Boxing Association champion. This promotion comes after the reigning champion Terence Crawford moved up in weight, paving the way for Baraou's advancement. Interestingly, Baraou has previously beaten another undefeated Cuban in a fight, showcasing his impressive form. The confirmation of Baraou's promotion was based on a letter from the WBA, and a spokesperson for Wasserman Boxing confirmed the news. Despite his new status, Baraou remains humble about his achievements. He expressed happiness about becoming the full world champion but does not have any special plans to celebrate his promotion. Instead, his next celebration will be after his next title defense. Baraou, who travels between Oberhausen and Berlin, has now won both the interim and full super welterweight titles. As he prepares for his next title defense, the boxing world eagerly awaits to see how he will continue to dominate the division.
