Stakes are extremely high for Cecilia Brækhus vs. Jessica McCaskill.
Not only is Brækhus defending her undisputed welterweight championship, but she has the chance to break Joe Louis' title defense streak of 25 with a victory. That and the winner between Brækhus and McCaskill will inch one step closer to facing the victor of Katie Taylor vs. Delfine Persoon for even more boxing glory.
It all goes down on the streets of Tulsa, Okla., on Saturday, Aug. 15. Both Brækhus and McCaskill are more than ready for the blockbuster showdown.
"She's a great fighter, but I'm just better than her all around," Brækhus said about McCaskill in a recent Matchroom Boxing video. "I think it will be a very high-paced fight."
McCaskill, the unified super lightweight champion, can't wait to use Aug. 15 as a proving ground to the boxing world, and she believes delivering a KO will be the best way for her to do so.
"The fight is all or nothing," McCaskill said in a Matchroom Boxing video of her own. "The win has to be very distinctive — no gray area. We're looking for the knockout, but I'm not going to go in fighting wild. I'm going to play it smart and show off my skills and do the best I can to get the win."
Will the undefeated Brækhus continue her reign of dominance and make history in the process, or will McCaskill seize the opportunity and add to her own status?
