Travel and adventure, for sure. Fun? Katherine Lindenmuth seems to think so.

Lindenmuth, the fighting mom from Bosque Farms, is headed to a fourth foreign country and fighting in a fourth weight class in pursuit of a third professional boxing title belt. Lindenmuth on Wednesday announced she’ll challenge Brazil-born, Australia-based, Swedish-surnamed Linn Sandstrom for the latter’s WBA Gold flyweight title on May 16 in a suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark. “We’re really excited,” Lindenmuth (8-5, two knockouts), standing in front of the two title belts she earned in past victories, said during a news conference held at Rosales Karate & Kickboxing.

“And in true ‘Kat’ fashion, we’re ready to stand up to that challenge. ” Sandstrom’s resume, combined with the location and the 115-pound weight class at which the fight will be contested, indeed presents a challenge. Born in Pernambuco, Brazil, Sandstrom, 34, turned pro in Australia six years ago.
