She said that when she started her boxing career, she never realised that she would win the trophy as the sexiest sportswoman in Kazakhstan.
She added: “I became aware about it when I came back home from my training and had never really thought about it before. I can say with all honesty that I did not see it coming. My goal is to become the first ever world champion from Kazakhstan, but in boxing not in looks.
“With that in mind, I am focused on my next fight, though I understand that media attention is also important. I will announce more information about the next fight pretty soon.”

Reportedly Firuza was active in cycling and water polo before she chose boxing as a permanent sporting carrier.
Many have pointed however that she easily could pursue modelling and conquer the catwalks instead of boxing with opponents. She is a multiple Kazakhstan boxing champion and Asian continental boxing tournament medallist.
One Kazakh local, 'Boris' said: "She is not only a beauty but she is also a strong woman. I bet she can beat any man if she wants to."
