Sarah Bormann has achieved a career-defining milestone, claiming the WBO Minimumweight World Championship with a dominant points victory over Argentina’s Jennifer Meza. For the 34-year-old from Nidderau, the focus now shifts to well-deserved recovery.
The bout took place during the DREAM BOXING/ Ge-Man Fight Night in Karlsruhe, where Bormann outclassed her opponent with precision and endurance. This win marks her first world title from one of boxing’s four major governing bodies.
A Commanding Performance
From the opening bell, Bormann controlled the fight, executing her game plan flawlessly. “Everything went according to plan,” said the TG Hanau boxer. Over ten rounds, she showcased impressive stamina and delivered powerful strikes, leaving no doubt in the judges’ minds.
The unanimous decision highlighted her dominance, with scorecards reading 100-90, 99-92, and 97-93, securing the vacant WBO belt in the minimumweight division.
A Milestone Achievement
This victory is a monumental moment in Bormann’s career. “I’m incredibly proud. I’ve worked so hard for this,” she said after the fight. The new title adds to her already impressive résumé, which includes interim world championships from the IBF and WBC in 2023. With this win, she has officially joined the elite ranks of the sport.
No Matchup with Tina Rupprecht
Despite long-standing interest in a fight with WBC Atomweight Champion Tina Rupprecht, Bormann has ruled it out. “I pursued that fight for four years,” she explained, but it never materialized. Now, she’s setting her sights on unifying titles in the minimumweight division or moving up in weight.
After ten grueling weeks of preparation, Bormann is looking forward to some rest. “I’ll take some time to recover and enjoy the moment,” she shared. She plans to return to training early next year, ready to continue her journey at the top of the sport.
