Victoire Piteau (25 years old, 1.69 m, now 14 victories, including 2 before the limit, 2 defeats on points) beat the Romanian Ioana Fecioru (28 years old, 1.74 m, 7 wins, now 3 d.) , on points, in ten two-minute rounds (98-92, 98-92, 97-93) for the European super-lightweight title (-63.503 kg) vacant, Saturday evening in the packed sports hall (800 spectators) in Saint-Maur (Indre).
Exceptionally, the young Frenchwoman had not been trained by her father. “As I organized the gala myself, in addition to my professional activity, it would have been too much if I had had to train my daughter, explains Sébastien Piteau. Also, she prepared for this Championship in Lavaur (Tarn) with Nicolas Fernandez, one of my former boxers who now takes care of Olympic Boxing Tarn. It paid off, as Victoire had the best fight of her career. The Romanian was formidable, advanced all the time, but Victoire, who turned as well as boxed at mid-distance, was superior with her technique and her power. »
Professional since 2019, Victoire Piteau planned, in February 2023, to return to amateur boxing to participate in the tournament which would designate the Frenchwoman, at -66 kg, having to compete in the Olympic qualifications for Paris 2024. But a serious car accident had her prevented.
Another Frenchwoman is European champion, Priscilla Peterlé (super welterweight, -69.853 kg).
