The Welterweight Champion of the World! Here is the First Lady of Boxing, Cecilia Brækhus! Tonight she looks to make history of 25 successful title offenses. Her record consist of 36 bouts and 36 victories.

Cecilia Brækhus is a Norwegian professional boxer and former kickboxer. In boxing she reigned as the undisputed female welterweight champion from 2014 to 2020, and is the first woman in any weight class to hold the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO titles simultaneously. She is also one of only 11 boxers in history, female or male, to hold all four major world titles simultaneously, along with Bernard Hopkins (2004–2005) and others. In 2016, she captured the IBO title, becoming the first ever boxer to hold five world titles from sanctioning bodies simultaneously.

Guinness World Records awarded her with three recognitions in 2018: the Longest Reigning Female Boxing Champion, the Longest Reign as a Four-Belt Undisputed Boxing Champion, and the Most Bouts Undefeated by a Female World Champion Boxer.[2] As of September 2020, she is ranked as the world's second best active female welterweight by The Ring.

The last headline that I saw for this year about Cecilia is she avoids retirement, to aim for junior middleweight belts. So we’ll be keeping an eye open for Cecilia Brækhus.
