All the focus seems to be on Cecilia Braekhus and her attempt to break Joe Louis’ record for consecutive title defenses.
However, the welterweight beltholder’s opponent on Saturday in Tulsa, Okla. — Jessica McCaskill — is no slouch. McCaskill fell short in attempt to take Katie Taylor’s lightweight title in 2017 but subsequently won two junior welterweight titles.
The Chicago fighter believes she will be comfortable and have more punching power at 147 pounds.
McCaskill (8-2, 3 KOs) was interviewed by DAZN commentator Chris Mannix about how the Braekhus fight came about, her thoughts on the matchup and more.
The card will be streamed on DAZN.
