Alfiya Tarannum Khan Pathan, 18, is overwhelmed that International Boxing Association (AIBA) fans voted her the best boxer among women at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships held in Kielce, Poland (April 13-23). Recently, AIBA`s Instagram account shared a video of her and wrote: "She`s got skills. Fans decision! Most of our followers chose Alfiya PATHAN @alfiyapathan205 as the best boxer among women at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships. #AIBA#KielceBoxing2021 #boxing." Alfiya won her first international medal—gold in 81+ kg category at the youth worlds. In the final, she defeated Moldova’s EUBC European Youth Champion Daria Kozorez 5-0. Nagpur-based Alfiya said the comments by fans gave her the inspiration to achieve more boxing glory. "I am so happy that fans voted for me. Actually, I came to know about it only on Wednesday. But when I read the comments and the appreciation people showered on me, it felt good that they could notice my hard work. There were many positive comments on the Instagram page, but the one that I liked the most was that of a fan who liked my body movements despite me fighting in the heavyweight category," Alfiya told mid-day.com.
