Mikaela Laur\u00e9n (27-3, 12 KOs) won the first battle against Klara Svensson (16-1, 5 KOs) as the Swedish rivals went head-to-head in a coin toss to decide who enters the ring second for their interim WBC World Female Welterweight title fight on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Stockholm fighter had previously demanded that she walk to the ring second and was left outraged when it was announced that the decision would come down to a flip of a coin.<\/p>\n

Laur\u00e9n eventually got her way after correctly calling the toss during a live TV3 broadcast following the Sweden vs. Finland ice hockey game.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Justice has been done,\u2019\u2019 said Laur\u00e9n. \u2018\u2019It\u2019s my hometown and I deserve to walk second. I\u2019m happy we\u2019ve finally come to right decision, and now I can focus all my efforts on knocking Klara out on Saturday night.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Svensson, however, insists the outcome will have no effect on her performance in the ring. \u2018\u2019It\u2019s makes no difference to me,\u2019\u2019 she said. \u2018\u2019Either way, I\u2019m ready to win this fight!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The female fighters will come face-to-face for the last time at tomorrow\u2019s weigh-in before finally settling their difference in the ring on Saturday night at the Hovet in Stockholm.<\/p>\n
