Bermuda’s boxing braveheart Teresa Perozzi lost the fight of her life in Germany last night when she succumbed to the superiority of Russian steamroller Natascha Ragosina.
Ragosina punched her way into the Guinness Book of World Records with the ‘Seven at one Stroke’ win, so named because a magnificent seven belts were at stake.
But working mother Perozzi, 34, vowed after the ten-round match that “I will be back - for myself, for my family and for Bermuda.”
The contest was a one-sided affair for Ragosina, 31, who now has an unbeaten record of 17-0 with 11 knockouts.
