The WBC super featherweight world championship will crown a new champion on February 10 in Michigan, as Belgium’s Delfine Persoon faces France’s Caroline Veyre for the vacant title.

Persoon, one of the most experienced and battle-tested fighters of the modern era, will look to add another world title to her résumé, relying on her relentless pace and physical strength.

Veyre steps into the biggest fight of her career, with the opportunity to make a definitive leap into the elite level of women’s boxing. The French fighter won the WBC Silver featherweight title last year and holds a record of 10-1. The matchup pits experience against projection, with the outcome set to shape the future of the super featherweight division.
