“At first, Nhi was afraid of Knockout! Nhi went to the radio with the spirit of protecting herself first,” the WBO champion shared very honestly about the match with Etsuko Tada.
After the match, Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi had two tears: one on the head and one on the right eyelid. Retelling the accident that created a tear on the top of the head, Thu Nhi said it came from a collision, when the two boxers rushed to attack violently.
“Nhi has a mistake that I was a bit impatient, because I was also afraid of losing.
Sharing about the plans to protect the belt in the future, Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi said that she has a lot of ideas, from moving to other weighing to sweeping champions in other ranking systems (WBC, WBA, IBO, …).
“My next goal will be to protect the belt, then maybe I will gain weight up, hit other classes, try to grab the world belt of other classes. After that, I will rage through other systems!”
“In general, Nhi's goal is a lot! But Nhi sets a goal and then will slowly achieve it, not to set a big goal to rush in to do it.”
