\"19ac39f0-8a9a-444b-aa66-c27159d6a211\"<\/a>Sweden\u2019s top female boxers Mikaela Laur\u00e9n (27-3, 12 KOs) and Klara Svensson (16-1, 5 KOs) will go head-to-head in a huge domestic showdown on September 10 at the Hovet in Stockholm.<\/p>\n

Following months of speculation, the bitter rivals have agreed to meet at the welterweight limit in an attempt to settle their differences and prove who is the country\u2019s number one female fighter.<\/p>\n

Their hotly anticipated bout will also act as an official WBC sanctioned final eliminator to face female pound-for-pound number one and Unified Welterweight Champion Cecilia Br\u00e6khus.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019m thrilled this fight is finally happening,\u2019\u2019 said Laur\u00e9n. \u2018\u2019This is a fight I\u2019ve wanted for a long time. It\u2019s no secret that we don\u2019t like each other, and now we can finally see who is the better boxer. This is going to be a huge fight for Sweden and for Swedish boxing. We haven\u2019t had a big fight like this involving two Swedish fighters since Paolo Roberto fought Armand Krajnc, and I\u2019m sure this is a fight that will capture the imagination of the Swedish public.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019m very confident I will beat her. I believe I\u2019m too big and too strong for her and on September 10, I\u2019m going to knock her out. There is no way she can last ten-rounds with me. I\u2019m glad this fight is happening in Stockholm so that all my friends, family and fans can be there to watch me humiliate her.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019There is nothing fake about this fight,\u2019\u2019 says Svensson. \u2018\u2019Mikaela has done and said some things that I haven\u2019t agreed with and I\u2019m looking forward to getting in the ring and shutting her up once and for all. This isn\u2019t about tabloids or headlines, or her kissing opponents or pouring water on them, it\u2019s about boxing and who is the best, and I\u2019m going to show her what boxing is really about. I’m not only going to outbox her, I will destroy her. Mikaela and her whole team are going to be in for a cold shower.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019m really looking forward to this fight. It has been building up for a long time and a lot of people are already talking about it. I think it\u2019s going to be a really big event in Sweden and hopefully it can build a lot of interest in the sport.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Said promoter Nisse Sauerland: \u2018\u2019We\u2019re delighted to have made this fight. It\u2019s a genuine grudge match between two of the best female fighters on the planet. It will be a huge night for Swedish boxing and for the sport as a whole. I believe it can be as big in Sweden as Paolo Roberto versus Armand Krajnc.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019After their last fights, both Mikaela and Klara called me and told me this was the fight they wanted. There is a lot on the line and it\u2019s going to be winner takes all with pride, bragging rights and a shot at Cecilia Br\u00e6khus\u2019s World titles up for grabs. This is definitely not a fight you want to miss.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Per Nunstedt, Head of Sports, Viasat said: \u2018\u2019This is the fight Sweden has been waiting for. Without a doubt this is the biggest rivalry-fight in the history of Swedish female boxing. Its also one of the most prestigious fights we have seen between two Swedes. Both Mikaela and Klara have longed to get up in the ring and show who is the best. And to be able to have this fight on Swedish soil makes it even bigger.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
