Lindenmuth wins in Egypt

Kathrine Lindenmuth traveled overseas and returned with hardware, capturing the WBA Minor Flyweight Gold title via split decision on Friday night in Egypt.

The victory secures Lindenmuth an important regional belt — one that is often used as a springboard into the WBA’s top-10 rankings and, ultimately, a shot at a full world title. The current WBA world flyweight champion is Gabriella Fundura.

Lindenmuth boxed with confidence throughout the bout, earning scores of 96–94 and 98–92 on two of the judges’ cards. The third judge had it 95–94 for her opponent, Angelina Lucas , resulting in the split verdict.

With the win, Lindenmuth improves to 8–5, positioning herself for bigger opportunities and, potentially, a run toward a legitimate world championship belt.
