– My last fight ended quite quickly. I left the arena without bruises or any injuries at all, and could og straight back to training with Johnathon Banks (Kronk Gym). The goal for this fight is the same as last time. I am going to be better than Svensson in everything. I will win, and I will end this fight long before the 10th round, says Brækhus.
”The Swedish Princess” Klara Svensson has bee naming for Brækhus since she beat her country woman Mikaela Lauren in a tough 10-round interim-fight in September.
– I share Cecilias attitude, because I have the same goal as her. I have been dreaming of this opportunity, and I am very happy that this fight came now. I have what it takes to beat Cecilia, and I am looking forward to face her in the ring, says Svensson.
