Who do you think has the strongest hook in the boxing world today? Canelo Alvarez? Terence Crawford? Here is a female aspiring pro-boxer whose boxing skills have been compared to the likes of Alvarez and Crawford. In a recent video of her training session, Taniyah Price can be seen working the heavy bag with a lot of panache.
Price, who goes by the moniker, ‘She-Ra’, started boxing to lose weight. But in this pursuit, she would soon fall in love with the sport. However, she believed that her height would not allow her to enter the weight class she wanted to compete in. And that is when her friend introduced her to the story of a Mexican fighter, Canelo Alvarez. Inspired by the super middleweight champion, She-Ra decided to pursue pro-boxing and remains busy preparing for it. Her efforts to do so have been appreciated by fans immensely.
