Boxing has always been a sport that’s been popular with those that enjoy placing wagers bets on competitive events. So, with the rise to prominence of women’s boxing, demand for betting markets for their bouts has also increased.

In the coming months, we’ll see many of these legendary boxers compete in bouts across the globe. From clashes in Colombia to bouts in Birmingham, there will be action wherever you look.

The Commonwealth Games

The Commonwealth Games are a multi-discipline athletics tournament similar to the Olympics but for the countries that make up The Commonwealth of Nations. It’ll see countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, Barbados, Cyprus, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.

Women’s boxing will be a big event at this year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. Matches will be taking place from
late July through to early August, covering almost the entire duration of the tournament.

Since the boxers taking part will be those yet to turn pro, it will be a great opportunity to spot upcoming fighters that you’re likely to see on stage at major events in Vegas in the coming years.

Cecilia Braekhus vs. Patricia Berghult

A few weeks after the Commonwealth Games, Cecilia Braekhus and Patricia Berghult will go toe-to-toe for ten rounds in Berghult’s WBC women’s junior middleweight title. The fight will take place in Cali, Colombia and will be one of three major events on the card that night.

Braekhus is a 40-year-old fighter from Norway who has broken a long list of world records throughout her career. She is a welterweight fighter and reigned as the undisputed champion in that weight class from 2014 to 2020.

Her opponent, Berghult, is a younger fighter who has seen success in both light-welterweight and light-middleweight classes. At 28, she’s 12 years younger than Braekhus, which could be a big advantage in the ring.

Originally from Malmo, Sweden, Berghult has been undefeated since turning professional in 2015. On the other hand, Braekhus has had two losses during her career, but she’s competed in more than twice as many matches. Those two losses were to Jessica McCaskill in August 2020 and March 2021, so she’ll have a lot to prove when she gets in the ring later this summer.
