Overview

• The 44-year-old defeated Ema Kozin by unanimous decision, with scores of 97-93, 96-94 and 98-92, to claim the WBC and WBO light-middleweight belts in Lillestrom.
• The bout at Nova Spektrum drew about 3,000 fans as Braekhus closed her 18-year professional run on her own terms.
• She retires at 39-2-1 as the first woman to unify all four major belts and now a champion in a second division.
• Her success helped shift opinion that led to a 54–48 Storting vote in 2014 lifting a 33-year ban on professional boxing, paving the way for her 2016 Norway headliner.
• Braekhus holds Guinness records for the longest-reigning female world champion, the longest undisputed tenure and the longest unbeaten streak, and she says she will take a break after promoting the event through First Lady Promotions.
