Cecilia Brækhus is one of the most accomplished female boxers of all time. Known as “The First Lady,” she became the first woman in history to hold all four major world titles simultaneously and went more than a decade undefeated.
Cecilia played a central role in bringing professional boxing back to Norway after a 33-year ban, and became the first woman to headline a professional boxing event in the country. She ended her boxing career in 2025 by winning the WBC and WBO super-welterweight world titles in her final fight.
Today, Cecilia is building the First Lady Initiative, a non-profit organization she founded to give girls aged 13–19 access to the methods, support and community that helped shape her own career. Through physical training, mental resilience, leadership and mentorship, she is taking what she learned at the highest level of sport and passing it on to the next generation.
