Dr. Stefi Cohen felt awkward projecting her physique

Dr. Cohen holds a profound knowledge of the sport. In fact, she herself is a powerlifter who can lift 4.4 times her body weight. But what recently glorified her feat the most is her boxing prowess. Evidently, the DPT defeated her opponent in the boxing ring as a continuation of her debut in 2021. But as per her social media, the pro boxer is now in conflict with the norms.

Respectfully,” she captioned the post along with a picture. In that picture, the powerlifter is seen facing the other side.
