The undefeated Czech Fabiána Bytqi (20-0-2, 5 KOs) and the formidable German “Tiny” Tina Rupprecht (12-1-1, 3 KOs) will face each other in a ten-round duel and will hold a long-awaited clash, on the 13th January at the Verti Music Hall in Friedrichshain, Germany.
Undefeated WBC atomweight world champion Fabiana Bytyqi, 27, won the vacant WBC world title in September 2018, when with the vitality of youth, she defeated brave British challenger Denise Castle (3-4- 0, 3 KOs) on a gala night at home. .
She defended the belt for the first time in April 2019 through a drawn duel with Mexican boxer María Vargas. In December of the same year she defended the belt for the second time, defeating the Mexican Ana Arrazola.
After that, Fabiana won four fights without the title at stake, and last July she faced the third defense of the world title on a gala night in Kosovo, drawing with the Mexican Elizabeth López Corzo.
In April 2023, Fabiana wanted to make up for the tie and clearly dominated the ring and, thanks to her speed, squeezed the Mexican challenger harder.
Now she will attempt to make her fifth defense, and thirty-one-year-old former world champion Tina Rupprecht defiantly stands in her way.
She held the strawweight world title from 2018 until this March, when she came up short in the unification fight against American Seniesa Estrada and lost for the first time in her career.
