“It touches me a little”: Yankova – about Bostanzhi’s threats before the fight

Anastasia Yankova, also known as the Russian Valkyrie, shared her impressions about her rival Sudenure Bostangy before the fight within Fight Club .

The return of Anastasia Yankova to the ring is one of the main events in women’s mixed martial arts. Five years ago, she took a break from her sports career and became a successful model and TV presenter.

“First of all, I never announced that I had ended my professional career. I wanted to try myself in something else, to understand who I was besides Anastasia Yankova the fighter. I found out, I understood. But I also realized that I really missed professional sports, this feeling when you train not just for fun, for yourself, but when you train with a specific goal in mind. It’s completely different, it makes you gather, concentrate, makes you feel life more sharply than at any other time, ” – said the girl.

Earlier, Bostangi said that she did not expect much from her opponent in the ring due to a long break. The words of an 18-year-old Turkish woman do not scare Yankov at all.

“In fact, I like it when before the fight people are not afraid to say something not quite nice, somewhere to kindle a little, somewhere to add hype. It’s great. We live in a time when without it it is very difficult and almost impossible “Probably. Therefore, well done, that she is not afraid to express – maybe her opinion or just trying to bring me to some emotions. This is also part of our work, it’s just that everyone does it differently, “ – added the athlete.

32-year-old Yankova is sure that Bostanji has never met such rivals as the Russian Valkyrie.

“It touches me a little. I think something like this: girl, baby, well done, you are on the gas – it’s great, it’s brave, but you’ve never met rivals like me,” she said.

Yankova emphasized that the opponent commands her respect, because she constantly performs and became the champion of Turkey eight times, and also won the titles of European and world champions. But bold assumptions about victory, Yankova believes, Bostanzhi expresses because of self-doubt.

“All the same, I think that this is not from confidence, but precisely from the fact that she burns and worries,” – shared Yankova.

Despite the fact that the girl has been performing according to the rules of MMA for the last six months, she feels like a professional in kickboxing.
