(NOV 7) Klara Svensson (14-0, 5
KOs) will defend her interim WBC Female World Light Welterweight
title against Lucia Morelli (18-4, 8 KOs) on November 29 at the
Falconer Hall at the Radisson Blu in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Svensson claimed the interim WBC title with a career best
performance against Marie Riederer in September. The Swedish
Princess faces a tough test when she returns to take on the
former lightweight world champion and welterweight world title
challenger Morelli.
‘’Lucia is a big name in Europe. She has a good style and I’m
sure it will make for a very exciting fight,’’ said the 27
year-old from Malmo. ‘’In my last fight I proved I belong at the
very highest level. I’m ready to pick up where I left off. Lucia
is a talented fighter but for me she is just the next step. She
is standing in my way. On November 29, I will defend my title
and continue my journey to the top.’’
‘’Klara looks more like a model than a boxer,’’ said Morelli.
‘’I’ve not seen or heard much about her but as a fellow fighter
she has my respect. However, I’m not coming to Copenhagen to
lose. I’ve fought the very best fighters out there and I know
what it takes to compete at the highest level. I have the skill
and the experience to cause an upset on November 29!’’
‘’This will be another good test for Klara,’’ said promoter
Nisse Sauerland. ‘’Morelli is an experienced fighter and cannot
be underestimated. But I believe Klara will be ready for the
challenge. She can send a clear message to everyone in the light
welterweight division by beating Morelli in Copenhagen.’’
Pound-for-pound queen Cecilia Brækhus will also be in action at
the Falconer Hall on November 29. The Norwegian star will defend
her WBC Female World Welterweight title against Jennifer Retzke.
Full undercard details featuring top Swedish, Danish and
Norwegian boxing talents will be announced shortly. Tickets are
on sale now and available via http://www.billetnet.dk.
