Rematch in 2021 for a McCaskill vs. Braekhus Rematch?

(SEPT 14)  The buzz in today's news is that boxing fans will be treated to a rematch between Jessica McCaskill who defeated Cecilia Braekhus for her multiple title belts (WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF, and IBO) that took place in August. The fight took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the judges scored the controversial contest a majority decision with 95-95,  97-94, 97-93.

 "Jessica McCaskill will defend her undisputed world welterweight title against Cecilia Brækhus in early 2021 after former champion Brækhus activated the rematch clause."

This was a first professional loss for Braekhus, and is now 36-0-0 (9KO), and McCaskill improved her record to 9-2-0 (3KO). 

Braekhus was quoted by many boxing sites, posting the press release that she said this fight with McCaskill was her weakest performance in her whole career.

She is determined to redeem her loss, although she also said that she felt she won the fight or it could have been a draw.

Braekhus also said that she would not want to go out this way with a "Career-worst performance either"  in boxing and that she owes it to her fans.

McCaskill said in that release the following:

“That’s the fastest retirement I’ve ever seen in boxing history – she’s back!” said McCaskill. “We knew she would be back and that it would only be a matter of time. Usually those types of conversations straight after a fight to direct the audience’s eyes away from the loss. In this sport, so many people have said that they are retired and then come back to have fights.

“I gave her the belts back and just wanted to be the one to do that. There’s never been any bad blood, I could have had my team send the belts back but there was no reason not to give the belts back myself so we went over to her room and she was on the phone to her family, when she got off the phone, she made comments to passing the torch and with her being beaten for the first time I think she expects someone else to carry on her legacy and I have my own legacy to fulfill and that’s where my focus is.

“Tulsa is over with and now I have to get up for the rematch which is part of being professional and part of the gameplay. The only rematch I’ve had in my pro career was with Erica Farias so it’s part of it and you cannot expect anything to motivate, you can’t expect your team to hype you up for a workout, what if they are not there that day? You can’t expect the fans to get you hyped for the fight because what if there are no fans? I am a very mentally strong person, I can control how to get from point a to point b so I will be ready for it.”


This is exciting news to see what happens in this rematch, and not a bad start in 2021 if this fight actually takes place.
