During the match incurred Brækhus an ankle injury. Pains inhibited distinctly northern man, who eventually could only rely on one foot.

Box Queen met the Norwegian press corps bit before the clock 0200 in the night.

– Am I lucky as there are only a breach in the foot, but they talk about that there may be a tendon is ruptured. Then it is more serious. So now I hope that the foot is broken, says Brækhus and laughs.

– Is it a break I have to keep quiet for 2-6 weeks, says the doctor. So I hope that’s not worse than that.

– What happened?

Brækhus showed why she is the world boxing queen and Retzke had more than enough to defend himself against the blows to his Norwegian opponent.

German still refused to go down, and in the fifth round could see that Brækhus had pain in the right ankle. It gave the German extra motivation, and the fight went out all ten rounds.

Retzke was still never close and Brækhus took a superior victory.

– How important was it to hide the injury Retzke?

– Very important. I do not think she realized how bad it was. I just had to stay the course. For me it was never an option to notify the judge and give up, says Brækhus.

For a hospital
After the game got Brækhus opportunity to thank those who had made the trip.

– Thank you to all who have come here today. This was a shit fight, but shit happens. I was a bit unlucky and ankle today. I come back strongly and hope you come back next year, she said to those in attendance.

Brækhus were examined in a hospital in Copenhagen on Saturday night.
