– At your age women are interested in other things. What do your friends and family think about the fact that you like boxing and are a professional boxer?
– Everyone that knows me, I mean my family, my relatives and my friends, are happy for that. I know that there are people that don’t like boxing, furthermore, women boxing… My goal is to prove that women can fight like men, furthermore, in some cases they can fight better than some men. My family supports me and is for it. At first they didn’t like that idea, but when they saw my victories they changed their mind.
– You had a box competition in July in Hamburg city of Germany, where you had a victory. What do you think about your competitor? Was she strong? Did you finish the competition fast this time too?
– She was a very good boxer. It is the first time that I am having ten rounds. My competitor was strong and had a very strong head. However, I won and the audience was satisfied. Many people approached me, shook hands with me, and told me that it was the best fight of that day. I couldn’t stop myself from being proud.
– How do you spend your days? How long do you train a day?
– I train every day in the morning and in the evening, except of Sundays. Of course, I have little time remained for other things, but it doesn’t prevent me. Usually I am with my family and my friends after my fights and competitions. We usually celebrate my victories.
– What do you do with the rest of time that you have?
– I usually go to cinema with my friends, go for shopping, I do all what girls of my age usually do. I like dresses very much. As for films, I prefer horror and comedy movies.
– You are 18 already and look at things other way. What kind of difficulties have you had in your life?
– It was very hard for me to study, work and do the home works at one time because there was time when my mother was sick and I had to do everything alone. However, I didn’t know for whom and why I was doing that. It gave me power and strength. I have always believed that everything will be good one day. Thanks to God, now my mother is with me and she feels well. Now I am free to train. When I am free, we go for shopping together. She helps me much, each time before fighting she tells me to forget everyone.
– What kind of competitions and fights do you have in the future? What kind of dreams do you have?
– I want to become a world champion next year. On September 9, I will fight for keeping my international title. My competitor is an American lady. After finishing my career I want to have children: one girl and one boy. However, now I don’t think about that because still I have a lot to do. I hope that thanks to God and my work I can make my dreams come true.
