Cecilia Braikhus has left a legend in this sport in its last battle on Saturday.
Still is Braekhus, 44, managed to control EMA Kozin. Her victory unanimously in its decision-98-92, 97-93 and 96-94 on the cards-in Lilleestrom, watched it won the unified world titles of WBC and WBO for the super weight.
Norwegian Trailblazer will retire now from boxing.
It represents the end of the 42-bout boxing profession that started in 2007. At that time, professional boxing was banned in its native Norway. Braekhus witnessed that the ban was lifted when I brought an undisputed defense to Oslo in 2016.
In 2014, Braijus became the first woman to become the undisputed world champion in the era of the four belt, when Ivana Habazin handed over a unanimous defeat.
Prakehus had a prominent victory in 36 wins over 13 years before suffering from her first defeat. She was still losing only twice in her entire career and won her only by one opponent, as Jessica McCaskel defeated her in the battles of the title and weight weight.
The undisputed world champion extended weight weight from 2014 to 2020 and included 10 defenses.
In 2023, she just missed the unification of the World Understanding Championship and WBO when Terry Harper fled against her in Sheffield.
In thinking about her career, she previously told Briekos Sky Sports: “When I started boxing, I couldn’t even see somewhere to do now. It was difficult to understand at that time when I started.
“Remember that we were not allowed to join the Olympic Games, the Olympic Games were only for men. It was a completely different world,” I continued.
“It was difficult. One of the most difficult things was told every day that you are less merit as women.
“This was the thing that certainly did not sit with me at all. The number of people who told me I am less merit, I will never listen to them.”
She added: “I am very happy because the next generation should not be in this position.
“Where are we today, for us who started at the time when you started, you just have to wake up sometimes.
“Just realize how far we have arrived.”
