Mikaela Lauren had to manage everything yourself and invest its own money in the box. Until now, when she he signed a contract with a promoter.
– This is really the best thing that could happen. Who the hell signup with a promoter when they are 40? That’s when people put off, says a happy Lauren who think it will make her better.
Mikaela Laurén started professional boxing when she was 33 years old.
We were however quickly for her to break into the world’s elite. Despite that, she do most on their own until today.
Now, she has signed a two-year contract with the big promoter Team Sauerland, which includes Swedish youth world champion Erik Skoglund included.
But really it should have been done much earlier, according to her.
– it would obviously have been nice if I had a contract with Sauerland five years ago, and I think I should have had it.
– But it is no use being bitter. One can only look forward to continue to develop and feel good. This is something I have dreamed about since spring 2008 when I was hired by the Sauerland as a sparring partner for (Norwegian world champion) Cecilia Breakhus. Then I felt “God, what if I could have this support behind me, what a cruel fighter, I would be then.”
After that, the relationship with the right Breakhus become frosty. 2010 they met in a match that Laurén lost. Now she hopes that the new partnership will give her a chance for revenge.
– The fact that it is her old team, and they do not work together anymore so I think, I think they also want revenge against her.
What is the atmosphere between you and Breakhus?
– It is well like that, haha. It’s not just for fun. It’s not a good atmosphere between us.
Laurén think that her chances of beating the Norwegian is much greater now than six years ago.
– When I met her in 2010, I was a beginner and today, I am the world champion. Today I have gone over 30 games, then I had gone six matches. I am a completely different fighter today, and now get additional help and support.
What does this contract specifically for you otherwise?
– For once will I be able to get paid when I go games and not have to walk less and bet everything I own that arrange galas himself. Furthermore, I will not have to spend all the hard work in organizing galas. I have not been able to spend all your time on the training that I’ve wanted to before.
When will you make debut for Team Sauerland?
In late April in Stockholm. I can not name the exact date and venue of the current situation, but I’m at camp in London and train hard before it.
