(FEB 10) Team Sauerland is
delighted to announce that the Nordic Fight Night will hit
Frederikshavn on March 17, featuring the very best of Danish
boxing as well the biggest fight in women´s boxing. At the Arena
Nord, highly-rated WBA, WBC, and WBO Female Welterweight
Champion Cecilia Braekhus (19-0, 5 KOs) and top-ranked contender
Anne-Sophie Mathis (26-1, 22 KOs) will determine the undisputed
pound-for-pound queen.
In one of the main bouts,
Braekhus and Mathis, will battle out supremacy in women's
boxing. With unbeaten Braekhus holding three major titles and
Mathis having destroyed pound-for-pound queen Holly Holm in
December,
the two are widely considered the best female boxers on the
planet.
“This is the fight the world wants to see,” Braekhus said. “It´s
the biggest challenge of my life. Mathis clinched a spectacular
victory against Holm but her winning streak will come to an end
when we meet on March 17. Only one of us can be the number one
and that will be me.”
Braekhus will be counting on the home support of her Norwegian
fans. “This is the closest I have fought to my home country and
I expect many, many fans to come over by ferry from Oslo and
support me, this will be a home match for me.” she added.
Mathis, who travelled all the way to Albuquerque to knock Holm
out cold, is ready for another spectacular victory. “I have
knocked out Holm in her backyard and I will also defeat Braekhus,
no doubt about it,” she said. “It will be the first loss for the
First Lady. I will show the world that I am the best.”
