Cecilia Brækhus will fight in Oslo this fall
Cathrine Løvaas
Bergen, Norway
Norwegian boxer Cecilia Brækhus goes by the name “The First Lady” and will be the first woman to professionally box on Norwegian soil, hence the name “The Homecoming—the Arctic Rumble.”
The press conference was held two hours after a tribunal made the decision to end Norway’s boxing ban. The Minister of Culture, Linda C. H. Helleland, pointed out the importance of anti-doping work and presented it to the tribunal to give thumbs up to Brækhus.
Her opponent is not confirmed yet, but tickets for the event, which will take place on October 1, still sold out in one day.
