Venezuelan Defends WBA Light Heavy Crown Against Del Papa
Vicent Paul Rondon of Venezuela makes the first defense of his World Boxing Association light heavyweight title Saturday night in Caracas. He faces Italy's Piero Del Papa in a 15 round bout. Rondon, a jab and dance stylist, is slightly favored over Del Papa, known for a powerful left hook and European style. Rondon won the WBA title by knocking out Jimmy Dupree in the sixth round last February 27. The crown became vacant after WBA withdrew recognition from Bob Foster for not defending within the allotted time. Foster remains recognized by the WBC and several U.S. states.
