Dina Thorslund defeated Seren Cetin by unanimous decision to retain her WBC and WBO bantamweight world titles Saturday night at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Thorslund (22-0, 9 KOs) dominated the fight from the start and overwhelmed Cetin with her power and pressure, earning scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91.
Thorslund, of Copenhagen, is a former junior featherweight champion. She won the WBO 122-pound title in 2018 and, after making three successful defenses, she moved down to bantamweight in June 2021 and defeated Jasseth Noriega for the vacant WBO 118-pound belt. After three defenses, she unified the WBC title with a decision victory over Yuliahn Luna Avila last September.
Cetin (11-1, 7 KOs) entered the fight as the WBC and WBO top contender. Cetin, of Istanbul, Turkey, was scheduled to fight Thorslund in February, but she suffered a cut during training days before the bout and was forced to withdraw. Thorslund faced Mary Romero as a late replacement and won by eighth-round TKO. Saturday's bout was Cetin's first fight since a unanimous decision win over Romero in April 2023.
With the victory, Thorslund solidifies her No. 1 spot in the bantamweight division.
Rankings will be updated every Tuesday. They'll be based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven't fought in 18 months and don't have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
