Both Elifs won the ring and returned to Turkey. ISTANBUL - Turkish boxer Elif Nur Turhan brought the world championship belt to her country by defeating her Argentine opponent in the WBF world championship title match held in Macedonia. Turkish boxer Elif Delişmen, on the other hand, won points in her first professional match in the same tournament. In the WBF world championship title match held in Tetovo, Macedonia on July 29, Turkish boxer Elif Nur Turhan won against her Argentine rival Edith Soladed Matthysse. Turhan, who won the match that lasted 10 rounds in the super featherweight division, brought the world championship belt to his country. Speaking to İHA before going to Macedonia for the tournament and promising to become the world champion, Turhan said, "Before the match, I promised to bring the world championship belt to my country and show the whole world the power of the Turks. Thank God I brought the world championship belt to my country," he said. In the same tournament, boxer Elif Delişmen, who played her first professional match in the 50 kg light flyweight category and defeated her rival Mira Nazaj, returned to her country by scoring points. Delismen stated that with this match, on the way to the world championship belt, he got a good rating by entering the top 40 in the rankings. “I brought the world championship belt to my country” Elif Nur Turhan said, “Before the match, I promised to bring the world championship belt to my country and show the power of the Turks to the whole world. Thank God I brought the world championship belt to my country. I am proud and happy. Let it be my gift to the Turkish nation. In Tetova, Macedonia, I fought my rival Argentinian Edith Soladed, who holds the world title of WBC and WBE. 10 rounds were smashed. In the end we prevailed and won the world championship belt. There are those who challenge us. We will evaluate the offers, we will not back down without any challenge. My opponent had a lot of experience, he was more experienced than me. I only had 4 matches and he had 30-odd matches. He was previously the world champion of a federation such as the WBC. Frankly, he underestimated me a little. He tried to demoralize before the match. But none of these discouraged me, on the contrary, it made me more ambitious as a Turk. I think I reflected this in the ring from the moment the gong sounded in the match until the last gong of the match. I am bringing this belt to Turkey for the first time in our country, and I am also proud of it. By Allah's leave, I will continue to bring firsts to my country from now on. I will make another first for my country by taking the title of the best female boxer in the world. I promise that too,” she said. Elif Delişmen, who won her first professional match in the same tournament, said, “I played my first professional match in Macedonia. I won my first match. Of course, I had a little difficulty because my opponent was more experienced than me, and I was very excited. My opponent, Mira Nazaj, is a popular athlete, she was very good. I participated in the tournament as a light flyweight at 50 kg. I got points with my win. The world goes to the championship belt in the form of elimination. There is a certain order, I have to pass some qualifications to enter the top 10. My ranking is very good right now. If I win my next match, I will be in the top 40. My future plan is to win the world championship, I am following in the footsteps of our friend Elif, I hope.” Turhan's trainer Ağmur National said, "Thankfully, we have fulfilled the promise we made last week. WBF world championship belt came to our country for the first time. This has been a blessing for us,” he said. Yaşar Aydın, the trainer of Delişmen, said, “We, too, are moving from amateur to professional for the first time. All this happened thanks to my teacher Ağmur. My student played a good match in the first match in Tetova. He is a student with a very bright future. We are candidates for the world championship like Elif, a student of my teacher Ağmur.” “Our two Elifs showed the world the power of Turks” Elif Nur Turhan's father, Arif Turhan, also said, "We warned our Argentine rival in our previous speech. We said, 'Elif's fist exceeds 900 kilos, you will make a mistake'. We made a mistake. Our two Elifs showed the world the power of the Turks," he said.
