For the 23-year-old from Å martno ob Savi, the showdown with the favored American will undoubtedly be the crown of her career so far. Kozina's victory would be a big surprise for the boxing public, and there are long and arduous preparations behind the Slovenian camp. "I'm ready," says the best Slovenian boxer, who also counts on the fact that her American opponent doesn't know her so well and could be a surprise factor for Kozin. At the same time, as some foreign media report, our boxer will be at least slightly underestimated in the American camp ...
Slovenian boxer Emo Kozin will have the most important performance of her career in Cardiff on Saturday. Her opponent will be American Claressa Shields, so far the best middleweight boxer of all time. The contestants will compete for the title of world champion in the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBF. Both competitors in Cardiff are doing their latest training, as well as their latest media commitments.
Even before the match, they had a mandatory weigh-in, which they successfully completed, and now it's just for real. It is clear that the favorite of the duel is the 26-year-old Shields, an undefeated competitor in her professional career, and in the amateur she won two titles of world and Olympic champion. The balance of power is eloquently evidenced by bookmakers, where a bet on a Slovenian boxer brings at least 10 times the payout. More on many bookmakers. "I don't know if I've ever been so prepared, but I've never been so calm and confident," said the 23-year-old Slovenian, who has the only confirmed advantage in height and thus in the long run. blow. "Only she will be in front of me, I will only hear the coaches and it doesn't matter whether she is in a garage or in the biggest stadium in the world," Kozinova commented. "I'm happy to go to the ring and silence my rivals," says the American, who was also preparing for the duel with the famous Floyd Mayweather. Sields says that she knows practically everything about the Slovene woman and openly threatens with her readiness. "Everything will be new to Emo. My different ways of fighting, as well as my new strength and speed. I take every contestant seriously, but when they receive my punches, their way of thinking changes. We'll see what Emma does."
Kozin, of course, hopes for a surprise, she knows that Shields will try to impose her boxing rhythm, and if she prevents that, a different outcome from the betting predictions is possible. "If I didn't believe that I could win, I wouldn't go to the ring with her at all," predicts the best Slovenian boxer of all time. On the international scene, Rudi Pavlin's protégé is considered a distinct "outsider". Many predict that Shields is only preparing for the next match with Britain's Savannah Marshall. She is the only one to beat the American in her career, even in amateur competition. For Shields, this would be an opportunity for another belt, as Marshall is the WBO champion.
