Norwegian Muay Thai fighter Anne-Line Hogstad will return to Swedish soil on Saturday, as she’s booked to face rising star Vilda Ekhorn at MTFL: Unite Against Cancer.
The Norwegian competed at the very first MTFL where she defeated Uma Galli and currently fights under the ONE Championship banner where she is top five ranked in both Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
“I love MTFL so much I’ve been nagging Patrick Thomsen to be a part of the event,” Hogstad says with a laugh when Frontkick calls her up. “I love to be fighting for a good cause.”
Anne-Line Hogstad faces ‘up-and-coming superstar’
As a two-time ISKA World Champion, three Norwegian champion, ISKA scandinavian champion and a two-time Scandinavian K1 Champion, it’s fair to claim that the Norwegian is just as game as you possibly can be. The Norwegian reveals that has been focusing a lot on her boxing lately, and looks forward to seeing how it will develop her game in the ring.
And even if Ekhorn doesn’t have the same professional experience as her, Hogstad still doesn’t take the young Swede lightly.
“Vilda is an up-and-coming superstar. A very tough opponent, I’m looking forward to fighting her.”
