  Exclusive production of axial-vector $f_{1}(1285)$ meson in proton-proton
collisions via pomeron-pomeron fusion within the tensor-pomeron approach is
discussed. Two ways to construct the pomeron-pomeron-$f_{1}$ coupling are
presented. We adjust the parameters of our model to the WA102 experimental data
and compare with predictions of the Sakai-Sugimoto model. Predictions for LHC
experiments are given.
