***Braekhus knocked out by tonsillitis, March 17 show postponed to April 21***

Team Sauerland regrets to inform boxing fans that the March 17 show at
Arena Nord in Frederikshavn has been postponed to April 21 after WBA /
WBC / WBO Female Welterweight Champion Cecilia Braekhus has been
flattened by tonsillitis. While preparing for the hotly-anticipated
showdown with French power-puncher Anne Sophie Mathis, the “First Lady”
fell sick. “We are very sorry we have to postpone the second Nordic
Fight Night but unfortunately things like this happen in boxing,”
promoter Nisse Sauerland said. “Cecilia is taking antibiotics and cannot
train for eight days, which is impossible to make up for in such a
crucial period of the preparation. The only positive note today is that
we have already confirmed April 21 as the new date together with Viasat
and Arena Nord. The card will remain the same, with Braekhus-Mathis and
Nielsen-Vega the headliners. Torben Keller, Reda Zam Zam and Erik
Skoglund will also be in action.”

Said Braekhus: “I am very sorry for all my fans who have already bought
tickets. I would have loved to fight on March 17 but the doctors would
not allow me to train for eight days. That is a huge blow for me because
I was really looking forward to March 17. I know that so many fans from
Norway have already bought tickets to support me in the biggest fight of
my life. I am glad that Team Sauerland has already found a new date. I
will return to training as soon as possible and then be in top shape on
April 21.”

Speaking from her training base in Nancy, Mathis stated: “I wish Cecilia
a speedy recovery. I was ready to beat her on March 17 and I am ready to
beat her on April 21. It gives her five more weeks to look at the titles
before I take them to France.”

Patrick Nielsen will now have to wait until April 21 to take on Gaston
Vega in a clash for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Middleweight Title.
“I feel sorry for Cecilia and hope she gets well soon,” he said.
“Personally, I don´t mind whether I win the WBA Intercontinental Title
on March 17 or April 21. The more time I spend in the gym, the better I
get. This is bad news for Vega. He is going down.”

Erik Skoglund: “I was looking forward to fighting on March 17 but
unfortunately postponements are part of the game in boxing. I am glad
that a new date has been set and the venue will remain the same.
I will use the additonal five weeks in the gym to get even better.
I can promise my fans an exciting fight on April 21.”

All tickets purchased for March 17 remain valid for April 21 but can be
returned by email (info@arenanord.dk) or by phone (+45 9845 9191).

Efter en vecka i Nyköping, fylld av träning och mediamöten, är Erik nu tillbaka i Karsten Röwers gym i östra Berlin.
Dagen inleddes med en löprunda och lite skuggboxning och under eftermiddagen skall man köra ett lättare styrkepass. De närmaste två veckorna kommer nog annars mest handla om att förbereda sig för nästa match med mycket sparring och en del teknikträning på mitsar. Detta varvas naturligtvis med både konditionsträning och lättare styrketräning i underhållssyfte.

De var 2.500 personer på plats, men det lät som 25.000. Erik vill också tacka alla som på olika sätt visat sitt stöd och sin uppskattning. ” Ett stort Tack till er alla, ert stöd betyder mycket”.
