(APR 3) Last night at the Herning Kongrescenter, in Herning, Denmark, Cecilia Braekhus, 147, won a 10-round unanimous decision over Jill Emery, 145. Braekhus was defending her WBA, WBO, and WBC titles. More to follow soon.. Final judges scores were 98-92, 98-92, and 99-91.

Photographer Mary Ann Owen told WBAN. "Braekhus was very aggressive all ten rounds landing more punches.  Emery had problems with Braekhus's pressure through out the rounds.    Emery landed a few punches but not enough pull out a win.   Braekhus won a unanimous decision retaining  her titles. Both fighters showed good sportsmanship and hugged and talk after the fight."

Owen added, "I presented my Book Extraordinary Women Of The Ring  to the winner Cecillia Braekhus."

 

"Braekhus told me that she would like to fight Champion Holly Holm next but not in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she would fight in Las Vegas, Nevada", added Owen.
 
WBAN's European Corresondent, Torben L. told us that  in the Norwegian Newspaper report, Braekhus was
quoted to as saying that she was very disappointed with her own performance, and said it was her worst fight yet.
