Cecilia Braekhus determined  to impress 

‘First Lady’ Cecilia Braekhus, (35-0, 9 KOs), plans a great return to the ring after an extraordinary 2018 filled with great victories.

Based in Bergen Norway, and undisputed welterweight world champion since September 2014, Braekhus, fought three times in 2018, twice in Los Angeles and once in Moscow, Russia.

In recent weeks,  it has been mentioned  that Breaekhus could face  unified lightweight world champion Katie Taylor or UFC star Cris Cyborg.

“2018 was a very busy year and I had the opportunity to relax and spend time with my family and friends, but now my immediate thoughts are to return to the ring,” said Braekhus.

“In the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen many mentions of a fight with Katie Taylor and also a big showdown with Cris Cyborg, which are very attractive to me.

“I’ve been a Katie fan since before becoming a professional. We faced each other when I was an amateur and she is clearly one of the most talented fighters in the world.

“A fight with Katie Taylor would be a massive event in Ireland, Norway or New York City. Regarding a fight with Cyborg, we both have fans on the west coast, so Las Vegas or Los Angeles would be perfect. These would be very big international events to improve the sport of women’s boxing.

“I’m back in training now in Norway and I look forward to these specific opportunities and defending all of my belts the way my fans around the world have gotten used to. Getting the most significant fights in the biggest scenarios is my goal for 2019. “
