[@paulbradshaw539]

@@georgebelgrade7462 she is a very good boxer and deserves every chance

[@RTTCTV]

She's gonna be so big

[@muudhestlovehooyo947]

Congratulations 👏 women the next time will

[@jagcheema789]

Good on her and good luck to her but why is she only teaching Muslim women and not all women 🤔

[@zeynand4039]

I think because that's her background and the people she knows. Im sure everyone is welcome. Muslim women tens ro not go boxing or that kind of sports and they should. All women should go to self defence classes

[@selamgetu6564]

She does it also to create a safe environment for hijabi women who practice modesty in gyms

[@polin1710]

They are more likely to be attacked and less likely to know how to fight back

[@sagahammer]

Far too pretty to be a boxer.
