I felt nothing after beating him
Maria believes that she can use her boxing skill to protect herself against harm. When asked about the game where she knocked out a boy, the 12-year-old said she felt nothing.
The kid who weighs around 28kg said there is no feeling whenever she beats boys up in a boxing ring. Maria added that she also does not know what goes on in their minds.
I have never lost
Maria added she cannot count the times she contested against boys in a ring. Despite the matches she has been in, the 12-year-old has never lost any.
Maria’s father revealed that when the girl started learning boxing, people always complained that he is allowing a fine girl to engage in such a sport.

Lady showed off her football skill
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a talented Nigerian lady, Fakiyesi Abisola Anthonia, from Ekiti state, showed off her football-playing skill in a viral video.
Posting the video on Friday, March 5, 2021, the lady said she is "an average girl from the average streets with an empty pocket and a bag of dreams."
Anthonia, therefore, asked people to help her retweet her video so that it can go viral and gain wide attention from social media users.
