From swimming ... to boxing
“Initially, I simply wanted to change sports without necessarily competing, and
It was somewhat by chance that I decided to try boxing. From the very first training sessions, I knew this sport was for me. This discipline calls upon fighting spirit and instinct, and highlights many important values in everyday life, including respect. That's why I love this sport so much!
A fierce athlete!
“After spending a lot of time training, I had the opportunity to participate in my
first competition. There was a lot of desire on my part, I really wanted to get in the ring!
