The 31-year-old DPT debuted in boxing in 2021 with a win. Then, the saga continued for her as she has the ability to add “power” in powerlifting. The 25 record holder always believes that after gaining the threshold level of expertise, the mind always wants more. Likewise, she refused to settle for less and is soaring to newer degrees of success. Recently, Dr. Cohen shared a post on her Instagram with some snaps of her recent boxing match. The post read, “This was fu*#%^ng DOPE and I can’t wait to do it all over again…”. 

Her recent pictures depicted on-screen dominance that ultimately brought victory. The DPT went on to thank her team, her coach, and her opponent on the post. Evidently, the powerlifter-turned-boxer has the potential to look like a bodybuilder, lift like a powerlifter, and move like a weightlifter. She is indeed a very rare combination of a physique that is both agile as well as muscular. Of course, it’s her never-ending zeal that reversed her life from a person with an eating disorder to a boxer who has been a command inside the ring.
