(AUG 15) Undisputed World
Welterweight Champion Cecilia Brækhus returns to the ring
October 24 in Düsseldorf
Undisputed (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBO & IBF) Female World Welterweight
Champion Cecilia Brækhus (27-0, 7 KOs) is finally back in
action, on October 24.
In addition August 13th, Cecilia Brækhus has teamed up with new
trainer Johnathon Banks, and is set for a high-profile undercard
slot on the recently announced Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury
world title clash in Düsseldorf.
‘’I can’t wait to get back in the ring and show once again why
I’m the pound-for-pound number one. And returning on Klitschko’s
big event, with my new trainer, is a huge step-up for my career,
and a dream come true,” Brækhus said.
Brækhus’ opponent in Düsseldorf will be announced later this
month.
On November 29 last year Brækhus, despite a serious injury in
her right foot in the third round, successfully defended her
fourth world champion title against IBO title-holder Jennifer
Ratzke. After a complicated surgery and a long period of
rehabilitation, Brækhus is now training harder than ever.
”My fitness and my hard training have always given me an edge
over my opponents. I’m quickly moving forward to my best shape
ever. Next week I’m travelling to legendary Kronk Gym in
Detroit, Michigan, to level up my boxing training with Wladimir
Klitschkos’s trainer Johnathon Banks. From Michigan we will move
on to training camps in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Austria
together with Wladimir and his team, to prepare for the title
fights in October.”
