Professional career
editBormann made her professional debut on 15 December 2017 against Kitti Kolompar. She won that bout by TKO after just 34 seconds in the first round.[3] Already in the 5th fight, Bormann boxed for the international German championship of the BDB (Bund Deutscher Berufsboxer e.V.) and for the Intercontinental championship of the WIBF (Women's International Boxing Federation) and GBU (Global Boxing Union).[4][5]
In her 6th bout, Bormann won the WIBF and GBU light flyweight world championship.[6][7]
After successful title defenses against Evgeniya Zablotskaya and Sanae Jah, Bormann also won the WBF world title against Anne Sophie Da Costa in 2019.[8][9][10]
After another successful title defense against Lotta Loikannen, Bormann was unable to fight for 16 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]
In May 2021, Bormann dropped down a weight class and competed in Belgrade at minimumweight for a fight for the WBC Interim, WIBF, GBU and WBF World Championships against Catalina Diaz, which she won unanimously on points.[12][13]
The WBC interim title was later changed to the Silver title due to internal disagreements between the WBC and the promoter.[14][15]
Exactly one year later, in May 2022, Bormann boxed against Ana Arrazola for the WBC Silver title and the IBO minimumweight world championship. Bormann also won this fight unanimously on points, despite a heavily bleeding cut above her forehead that was inflicted on her in the third round by Arrazola's headbutt.[16][17][18]
In September 2022, Bormann defended her WBC (World Boxing Council) Silver title unanimously on points against Elizabeth Lopez Corzo.[19][20][21][22] After the fight, Bormann relinquished her IBO world title and thus got the chance in May 2023, after which she was the number one mandatory challenger at the WBC for more than two years (2021 light flyweight and 2021-2022 minimumweight). to box for the interim world title against the previously undefeated Yadira Bustillos. Bormann also won this fight unanimously on points and became interim WBC world champion.[23][24][25] Just a month later, Bormann successfully defended her WBC title against Perla Perez.[26][27][28] This fight was also for the IBF interim world title, as Bormann was number one in this association for more than three years in two weight classes (2019-2020 light flyweight, 2022-2023 minimum weight).[29]
