Undefeated Russian boxing queen Natascha Ragosina (22-0, 13 KOs) was forced to cancel her comeback to the ring after a year and a half of inactivity. Ragosina was scheduled to return to the fight game on June 18 in Ekaterinburg but now this fight is no go. The hot 6’0” blonde from Magdeburg, Germany, by way of Karaganda, Kazakhstan, who is a face of Russian female boxing and one of the most recognizable female prizefighters in the world, was unable to find any lucrative opponents after weeks of futile searches. According to her agent Anna Kholmovskaya, it’s for the fourth time in a year and a half when Ragosina is forced to cancel her performances due to a lack of possible opponents.
“We have negotiated with three different people but none of them was ready to fight Natascha, and all of them rejected to sign an agreement after all”, added Kholmovskaya.
35-year old Ragosina, who is trained by 1988 Seoul Olympics gold medalist Vyacheslav Yanovskiy and guided by Ulf Steinforth of SES Boxing, holds a mind-boggling assortment of titles, including IWBF, WIBF, WBC, WBA, GBU and WIBA super middleweight belts and WIBF and WBF heavyweight titles. She was last seen in the ring on Dec. 19 in 2009 knocking out Guyanese Pamela London in eight.
