Cynthia Conte speaks with unified junior welterweight titleholder Jessica McCaskill, who will face undisputed welterweight champ Cecilia Brækhus. The fight will headline a Matchroom Boxing USA card on August 15 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which will be streamed live on DAZN.

McCaskill (8-2, 3 KOs) will meet Braekhus at a catchweight of 145 pounds. Brækhus is coming off her first win (against Victoria Bustos) with Abel Sanchez as her new head trainer. McCaskill has won three in a row.

If Braekhus (36-0, 9 knockouts) is victorious, she will make boxing history by breaking Joe Louis’ record of 25 title defenses set in the 1940s.
