The words of Miriam Tommasone

In anticipation of the final for the gold medal in boxing that will feature Imane Khelif, AlaNews interviewed Miriam Tommasone, boxer from Campania who came out in the quarterfinals at the World Championships in Sofia in 2022 at the hands of the Algerian.

"Her blows marked me but I am happy because they taught me to keep my guard up and to be a little bit more nasty in the ring, where wolves eat you and it is better to attack. I would face her again because è anyone can fight and win with the right training and tenacity. I got to know the Algerian athlete in Assisi, I describe her as a good girl with a hunger in her eyes to get to a finish line. I am happy if she wins the gold medal, she deserves it".

"Angela Carini è a dear friend of mine, I know her well and I know she had a moment of weakness. She è a tiger, she was not afraid and did not lack courage, but rather lacked self-confidence" added about what happened in the first round of the Olympic tournament.
