Kozin not to defend her boxing titles in US due to visa issue
LJUBLJANA - Contrary to plans, Slovenian boxer Ema Kozin will not be defending her WBC and WBO female super-welterweight titles in the US on Saturday, because she has failed to obtain a work visa in time, her coach Rudolf Pavlin announced on Facebook. Kozin, 25, was to take on Colombian-born Norwegian boxer Cecilia Braekhus, 42, in Las Vegas, the global boxing capital, and it remains unclear when and where the Slovenian boxer will go into the ring again. "We've been promised Ema will get a new date for the fight in three weeks, but it's not clear yet who will be the opponent and where they will fight," said Pavlin.
