In combat sports, staredowns, press conference, and weigh-ins are typically all mind games, where fighters get an opportunity to talk trash, squeeze in some last-minute bravado and things get bit strange. Swedish professional boxer Mikaela Laurén took the scene to a whole other place during a press conference, where things got little odd as Lauren approached Braekhus, stare into her eyes and stole a kiss on her lip.

Initially, Braekhus reacted shockingly but soon started laughing at the absurdity of it all.
