Boxing world titlist, Baraou, holds the championship title professionally
In a thrilling turn of events, German boxer Abass Baraou has been promoted to the prestigious title of World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion. This development comes after Terence Crawford, the reigning champion, decided to switch weight classes, opening up the opportunity for Baraou to step up.
The title fight, held in the USA, was a twelve-round contest against the previously undefeated Cuban Yoenis Tellez. Baraou emerged victorious, securing the interim WBA super welterweight title last month in Orlando, USA. The fight ended in a unanimous points decision by the referees.
The interim title is a temporary solution when a boxer cannot defend the actual world title. For Baraou, it was a stepping stone towards becoming the full champion. A spokesperson for Wasserman Boxing, the organisation representing Baraou, confirmed his promotion, citing a letter from the WBA.
Abass Baraou expressed his joy about being promoted to full world champion but does not plan any special celebration. Instead, he will defend his title against Jermell Charlo in his next fight. This upcoming title defense, according to Baraou, will be the occasion for his celebration.
Baraou commutes between Oberhausen and Berlin, balancing his training and personal life while preparing for his fights. His journey to the top of the super welterweight division has been a testament to his dedication and skill.
The WBA, as the governing body for the super welterweight division in boxing, oversees the rules and regulations of the weight class. The promotion of Baraou marks another exciting chapter in the history of the WBA and the super welterweight division.
With his newfound status as the full WBA super welterweight champion, Abass Baraou is poised to make a significant impact in the world of boxing. His upcoming title defense against Jermell Charlo promises to be an exciting match, further cementing his place among the top boxers in the division.
