Kiara Svensson (16-1, 5 KOs) believes her superior boxing skills will prove too much for Mikaela Laur\u00e9n (27-3, 12 KOs) when the Swedish rivals meet for the interim WBC Female World Welterweight title on September 10 at the Hovet in Stockholm.<\/p>\n

Following the fight\u2019s announcement, Svensson was branded a \u2018school teacher\u2019 by Laur\u00e9n during a bad tempered television appearance on SVT\u2019s \u2018Gomorron Sverige\u2019, but now the Malm\u00f6-boxer has hit back by promising to give Laur\u00e9n a boxing lesson. <\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019m not sure what she meant by calling me a school teacher,\u2019\u2019 says Svensson. \u2018\u2019Maybe it\u2019s because I criticised her for disrespecting her opponents, but if that makes me a school teacher, then so be it. I\u2019m not going to suck up to her like everyone else. I\u2019m going to tell her what I think, and on September 10, I\u2019m going to give her a boxing lesson!<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I think a lot of people want to see that happen. Of course, I have my home support in South Sweden, but I was in Stockholm recently and I was surprised with how much support I got there as well. I\u2019m not sure if Mikaela is aware of this, but there are a lot of people who want to see me break this image she has created for herself.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Svensson is moving up to 147lbs to face the former WBC Super Welterweight Champion Laur\u00e9n and it\u2019s a decision she believes will benefit her in the ring.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019ve always had the speed and technical ability but at welterweight I\u2019ve never felt so strong,\u2019\u2019 she says. \u2018\u2019I hadn\u2019t planned to move up as I was always comfortable in my own weight category but looking now at my physical ability and punching power, I can see that it was a good idea.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I think Mikaela will be shocked by my strength, and when I combine this with my speed and technique, she is not going to know what to do. I can box, I can brawl, I can fight from range and I can fight up close. I\u2019ve had over one hundred amateur fights. Boxing is in my blood and I know what I have to do to win.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
