A 12-year-old Nigerian girl, identified as Maria who showed her strength and knocked off a male opponent during a boxing game in a viral video speaks on how she was able to do that.
Maria, a 12-year-old Nigerian kid who lives in Iyana Lagos has shown that when it comes to boxing, she is both the king and queen of the ring.
In a video shared on Twitter, the kid sparred with a boy of her age as they boxed in a ring-like professional.
The girl used her longer hands to her advantage over the boy as she got many clear shots at him. His efforts to parry her blows did not work much.
Just when the girl’s blow was about to knock him out, the referee called a timeout.
A video well captured the moment the boy spun at the heavy blow of the girl and had to brace himself with the ring’s ropes. It was such a keenly contested game.
In response to her excellent fighting, a man with the Twitter handle @BikiniDoB promised to give the kid the sum of N50,000 so she can buy more kits.
The kid, in a video shared on Twitter, said she has many reasons for going into the boxing sport. She named being able to defend herself as one. Maria hopes to take her boxing game to the next level.
