Cecilia Braekhus is predicting an 'ugly brawl' between Lauren Price and Jessica McCaskill as the Olympic champion chases a first world title.
Cecilia Braekhus has warned that Jessica McCaskill and Lauren Price's world title fight could turn into a brawl, and has backed the Olympic champion to prevail when the pair clash this weekend. Price will challenge for a first world title in just her seventh professional fight when she takes on former undisputed champion McCaskill for the WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine world welterweight belts.
Missing from her glittering resume, though, is an appearance at the Olympic Games, which only welcomed female boxing to the scene in 2012. Price became the latest beacon of Olympic success in Tokyo when she marched to a famous gold medal, Braekhus welcoming it as yet further progress for the sport. 'I'm just super happy that it happened,' she continued. The first time women were put on in the Olympics it was like, 'oh my god, it's just so new, all so new'.
