On the night before Sunday, Swedish time, Elin Cederroos and the American Franchón Crews-Dezurn are boxing for all four world championship belts in super middleweight (76.2 kilos).

Never before has a Swedish boxer played a match where all four World Cup belts are at stake, with the firearm that in the past, for example when Ingemar Johansson won the World Championship title in heavyweight, there was only

belt.

Olof Johansson has followed boxing for over 60 years and seen most things.

He ranks Cederroo's match as the biggest ever for a Swedish women's boxer.

- Without a doubt, it is so.

The winner of this match is the rightful world champion, he explains.

- Patricia Berghult, Mikaela Laurén and Frida Wallberg, for example, have won the WBC belt, which is considered to be slightly nicer than the others, but now all the belts are at stake.

It's unique.

"One of the greatest triumphs"

Cederroos, originally from Harmånger in Hälsingland but now living in Västerås, is relatively unknown to the Swedish sports audience despite being undefeated (8-0, 4 KO) and double world champion (WBA and IBF).

- But this can probably be something of a breakthrough.

She should be noticed in a completely different way provided she wins.

Then she should be a candidate for the best sportswoman of the year.

This can be an eye opener for many, but first the job must also be done, says Olof Johansson.

How do you rank a possible victory in Swedish boxing history?

- On the girls' side, she takes first place, no talk about that thing.

It would be one of the greatest triumphs in Swedish boxing.

Then it is difficult compared to men's boxing, there are two different worlds.

"A physical monster"

Johansson describes Cederroos, who is a former Swedish football player, as "a training machine".

- Few people are as fit.

She may not have a devastating punch, but she's something of a physical monster.

That is 76 kilos of muscle.

She is a good boxer and puts the pieces together well, but the great strength is the physique.

She is a kind of female equivalent to the Klitschko brothers.

How do you rate her chances of winning?

- Elin has an attans good chance to take this home.

Few girls can compete with her when she is connected.

Crews-Dezurn is terribly tough, a real action bean that will swing out of hell.

But I keep Elin as a favorite and think she wins on points.
