Boxing fans have grown used to all kinds of pre-fight trash-talking,but kissing someone that to on the lips during the per-fight press conference is just bizarre.
Swedish professional boxer Mikaela Laurén took the pre-fight mind games to another level by landing a kiss on her opponent the undefeated champion Cecilia Braekhus while doing the stare down.
Mikaela Laurén fired an early shot by landing a kiss on her opponent.
Braekhus reacted in horror and half slapped, half pushed Laurén away following the surprise kiss. however, she was able to see the funny side as she struggled to control her laughter.
‘I haven’t got that in a while,’ Braekhus joked, as she shouted across the room and left the room.
Lauren (29-4)will face undefeated welterweight champion, Cecilia Braekhus,(31-0) for her WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO world titles on October 21 in Norway.
Braekhus got the better of Lauren in seven rounds when the pair met in 2010, but the Swede has improved and great deal since and experts fancy Saturday’s fight will be evenly contested.
It appears that this was not the first time Lauren has form for the ‘French kiss’ stunt, she kissed on the lips of a Christina Hammer during a WBF world middleweight fight in 2013.
