Cecilia Braekhus is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world today

Women’s boxing has never quite grabbed the eye of the casual audience and mainstream media unlike Women’s MMA. Nevertheless, whether you attribute it to the rise of feminism or the worldwide reach of social media, women’s Boxing has never been more highlighted than it is right now.

Given the large number of dangerous pugilists in Women’s boxing today, including big names such as Amanda Serrano, Braekhus rules the world with fists of diamond.

The 35-year-old possesses a wide variety of weapons in her arsenal. Everything right from her jab to her lead hand uppercut could very likely separate you from your consciousness. There have been talks of Barekhus potentially crossing over to Women’s MMA, owing to the humongous amounts of revenue WMMA generates with global superstars like Ronda Rousey and now Joanna Jedrzejczyk navigating the ship towards the shores of success.

Besides, given Cecilia’s boxing and kick-boxing background, the idea of her transitioning to MMA doesn’t seem all that far-fetched.

Be it boxing or MMA, speaking P4P, The First Lady’s shadow looms large over combat sports.
