Second of all, I’m stunned doubler actress.
First of all, I’m a dancer, a model Fashion Icon.
Fifth of all, I work in the ministry of Rights.
I work in the jails.
I’M half police girl yeah.
First of all, I have a gym with my brother that we we study the kids and adults.
We study how to fight how to protect how to be better people with discipline and everything also an event manager in gloves at night and I’m motivational speaker, that’s half of me wow.
That’S amazing! That’S amazing! I really want you to tell us later how you manage to do all of these things in a week or in a day.
You know it sounds.
It sounds it’s really hard.
I I want to start with the most important one, the pro boxing line.
Yes, so, but before hold on before we get to the pro boxing, let’s talk about the young Joanna.
Yes, we know you’re from Bulgaria, where you grew up um.
I know you said afraid a bit about you.
You’Ve done some uh K1 kickboxing.
If I’m not yeah.
Exactly all life, my father is from Africa, Nigeria, my mom is Bulgarian.
Uh.
I’Ve been in Africa, of course, many times and being a black kid in a white.
So me and my brother.
We had situations in life that we had to protect ourselves.
Uh we had fights, we had a lot of scandals but uh in time.
My mom just just told us um face those people that disrespect you not with um with aggression with success, so we became successful, um ex gymnasts national team nine years um.
So I trained uh martial arts 13 years.
Okay, wow is this: when you were a junior right, let’s say yeah.
How did I quit my gymnastic period? I started with fighting, but first of all my brothers are my brother.
Is a world big Champion four times his medals are here I can show you, we don’t have enough time in space he’s the best in the world, so that’s the perfect example for me being the best in the world and being so close to me and also Facing the racist situation that I aggravate from everyone in the hood or on the street, I love you.
I love that so I also became a fighter step by step.
Okay, I was that was the beginning.
That’S that’s nice and uh yeah with the fighting.
You said you were doing.
Gymnastics then went into the fighting with the fighting uh.
Your parents didn’t have this uh a problem with it.
You’Ve been a girl going into a fighting sports like your brother, yeah yeah, that’s uh! That’S the thing that most of my friends parents, they said because I’m a model for a thing yeah, I’m like I like to beat people up one day to pay me in the world, okay.
But the thing is that my mom, if, if she’s letting me out on the street, knowing that, if somebody touched me, I can beat him up, what do you think she’ll be very calm and she’ll realize that nobody can touch me and I’ll be I’ll? Be I’ll? Be I mean I’ll, protect myself? Okay, so I want to give advice to everyone, every female, every every child to know how to protect.
You don’t know.
What’S out of your room out of your town, out of your hood, you don’t know who who might attack you, so it’s good to get out of those bad situations or whatever it is good to know how to protect yeah.
That’S a very very truth.
That’S very true, but that’s amazing, so from from the gymnastics into the kickboxing and then yeah.
Where did the love of boxing come in from the kickboxing to boxing uh? I see you just said now: you you did kickboxing for many years as as a team um.
So the problem with hearing program is that I don’t have competition, that’s really sad.
I don’t have people who I can fight with and train properly.
Okay on my category, we don’t have female files.
I can fight with guys.
Well, that’s one thing.
Second thing: when I go to competition, when they see me they quit, you don’t realize that I can go further.
If I don’t fight, I don’t like I don’t like winning easy winning.
I don’t like that.
I like to fight I like to.
I like to win my my prize with motivate.
I mean I work for that so uh it was really hard to be a kickboxer and then I I just got an offer from one social media to become so yeah.
That’S how my managed ex manager for me uh.
I want you to be part of my team bullet team, the only female in Bulgaria that is uh fighting right now.
It’S me so basically they offer me to be a professional boxer.
When I was going to my last kickbox March, so on the way in after the weekend, I received a message: I’m I’m a manager.
I am a bullet team.
I want you to be part of our team.
It doesn’t matter what happens now on your competition.
Okay, yeah, so that that’s how God give me another opportunity, so basically I realized that in boxing I have more opportunity of five things than kickboxing there are.
You know it’s better better to have at least five six ten girls than nothing? Yes? Yes, yes! Yes, yes, that what happened – and it was very hard because of the current thing I didn’t – have a fight, but I was keep on training, training, training and I see that all those fights are going, but let them go I’ll be ready soon.
Yes, I’ll be ready.
Soon you just mentioned I’m 34th, I’m 31st yeah.
I don’t, I think, I’m 31st, it doesn’t matter.
I will be first yeah.
I can’t wait, let them open now, let them all fight.
They will see me soon.
Yes, it’s coming.
No, that’s actually amazing uh! You know you never have interviewed a few Fighters and stuff like this, and you know I’ve never heard of a fighter coming into the sports of boxing from away in from another sport where they say.
Okay, from this day I mean that’s, that’s uh, one, one chance of a life, so basically I was about to quit.
I was about to quit of this sport.
I’M like that’s, not my sport, because seriously.
I was training eight hours per day and I was traveling to another city for competition and when they see me they quit every competition.
Every competition and my coach was like what’s going on, I’m like, I don’t know yeah.
I know that I’ll pick them up but at least come out.
Let me try my new my new kicks.
Then let me go, you know, so it was really really depressing, but I was keep on training and also I was combinating with work.
So when I combinated with work, it was better, but then my opportunity for professional boxer come so 20 21 double I trained three hours in the morning two hours in the afternoon: oh wow, okay and then time the difference between did you struggle with the difference yeah There was a really struggle because, when you’re a kickboxer you’re you’re, your legs are like that.
I mean your legs are like that a little bit over because of the kids I need to close my body.
I need to close my legs.
The distance was different.
The movement was different, not jumping more because you know the kickboxer jump and then punch so now, like a boxer, I I was, I had to learn to move slowly slowly and how was that it looks awesome but enough yeah yeah.
How was that for you? That transaction into okay, I needed time my first fight got my my debut was nothing because the girl was already scared.
I punched her really hard and I broke her two things.
She followed the teeth, but that’s not because she even didn’t respond.
I don’t count that yeah.
I realized that this port is not for everyone, but I love it.
I mean I love it.
So why’d you actually also saying now is you are still transactioning still learning the boxing stances? No, I mean yes like um.
Boxing is like a language.
You can always learn more and more important.
You use your own progress, always new things, new movements.
Also I’m a dancer, the more I can do this so every training.
I learn something new with my coach.
My coach is even Jason from USA, so he he’s in America right now, so he’s sending me my homework through the social media.
Then send me video back so now right now we’re working on movements that nobody is working on you, you just watch my fights when they come when the time comes, so every every new thing.
Like new lesson, you have to put new new stuff.
I can’t say anyone I can’t happily um while surprised how many okay yeah so now I want to ask you with the with with you boxing now in Bulgaria as a female fighter uh, how? How do the people in the country accept you? How is it being a female fighter in in Bulgaria? Is it uh is? Do you have support from the people from the government, from from the associations to the support, the female Fighters and stuff yeah? So, like I told you it’s very hard, a female with this man’s sport is very hard.
It’S becoming a female champions of wrestling female characters of kickboxing.
Now we have been multiple whatever every martial art.
I think females are stronger than men.
What men can do female can do it better? So for sure I have the support of being a strong woman.
So when I’m in the ring, but what’s more important, I work so I don’t feel like I’m working.
You understand everything that I’m doing.
I do it with love, I don’t stress at all also my routine starts from between four and five in the morning till seven and after that I go to do my other works to train till seven and seven o’clock.
They’Ll come and pick me up because I’m shooting in a movie, so I’m going to work 12 hours and after work I’m going to drink so uh.
I wanted to actually ask you if you can just run me through.
You said your coach right now is in the states yeah yeah you’re in Bulgaria at the moment.
So how would you be training at the moment if someone had to ask you um? How does your training look like your boxing training? Look like running between 30 minutes and one hour after that warming? Up after that homework of my coach, I’m not going to tell the secret yeah.
So after my workout, which is three hours, okay, I have stretching, then I go home.
That’S it every day it depends twice a day or once a day.
It depends because right now, I’m not having competitions, I’m just I’m just keeping in shape.

Oh I’m concentrated in one thing and my mind is doing only one thing you know my head can do many things.
I just need to be in disciplined enough to do the program you understand.
For example, I have six hours for me, my body, which means six hours of training three in the morning three in the afternoon right.
The other hours are helping people I I still do it for me, but I work other things.
You understand yeah yeah, it’s amazing.
It’S amazing like um, and you never get.

That’S how I always recover.
Okay, that’s it! I don’t need to sleep all day or do off my phone to be recovered.
No, I I told you I’m way way different from the other people.
Yeah you’re like a little machine, but there is something that I can say that that can stop me.
If I want to do this I’ll, do it.
I work in politics three years before so I understand it’s also.
I I have done a lot of things in my life from my age of 18: I’m not everyone! Why is that 31.

So me and my brother were one so he offered us to be partners at this gym because everybody come in the gym because of us because of our success, our motivation, our Vibe, our energy, our goodness, and everything, positive that you can think of so we started Training, kids, although amateurs everything we train them, kickboxing boxing, the quantum protection, okay, yeah, so um all of them are very, very, very, very happy of that and a lot of kids.
They said that we’re our.
We are their favorite Savers because they have Progressive School.
You understand yeah, they got.
You know, kids for the boxing with the kids and stuff like that.
Also yes, so they have the same situation where we were small, absolutely the same situation and we explained the way my mom explained.
If somebody touched you with somebody wrong.
Whatever explain him hard warned him, don’t punch him, don’t fight because Sports Commercial Arts, it’s about control.
With this I can kill someone right.
This is good right, so I explained that you don’t want to be in the gym, because I work there, you don’t want to be there, you don’t want to be there.
You don’t wan na.
You don’t want to live this life.
Okay, so I explained if somebody touched, you just use your power for protection right for person.
If you respond first, you might get it.
It will be your fault just think about it or if there are all cameras or stuff just kick him once, but for warning.
That’S it so he can start respecting and that’s how they did it.
That’S how that’s, how they progress right so, every day, every time yeah and I’m sure you you’ve been a a woman, a woman, uh fighter.
You know a lot of young girls.
Look up to you exactly exactly exactly so.
I just told you that if I do something in my life, I want the ones that seems to motivate themselves.
I want.
I want um people to understand that the things that I’m doing is for for to be a better person right.
It doesn’t matter what I do, I’m doing it to be a better person.
I know that I’m not creative just to sleep all day or to be only a fighter, because after those six hours of my training, I up 100 things to do right.
I’M not doing only boxing all these days.
Only that I prefer to learn many things like in school.
We have many subjects right, it’s the same! Well, if, if you imagine why why, let me just study mathematics, that’s it! No! This brain needs information with this information.
I have experience with every experience under my lessons with every lessons.
I became a better person.
That’S nice! That’S it! One day when I have kids, if they say well, Mom it’s hard for me.
What do you mean it’s hard for you? Let’S go! Let’S go to the hoods that kids, they don’t have water, they don’t have.
They don’t have clothes, they don’t have nothing.
We all have been in Africa.
I have been in Africa, you know always in Africa.
We have this here in Bulgaria in every country right.
So I’m going to explain that we have seen the table.
We have life, let’s appreciate more because that’s taken like like 2020, you remember yeah appreciating right, so I mean I mean I.
I appreciate life so much that I’m greedy for success in everything that I’m doing everything yeah I want to be the best in every subject and uh.
I wanted to ask you going back to the boxing um yeah.
Would you I know every fighter? Okay, I, when I started fighting, I didn’t I thought, because I love to fight the titles, came with the hard work with the rewards.
You know [, Music ].
Do you have any goals of becoming a double? Yes, I have a goal.
That’S what that’s what somebody asked me yesterday and that somebody was Michael Bixby.
I think he’s ever made 500.
You can see his friend, we talked about it and he asked me what were your goals in life, so I said my goal in life is not like all of the people, it doesn’t matter female or males they say.
Oh, my dream is to be a champion.
I’M already a champion, I’m not really a champion.
I just need to prove it.
My goal in life is to make my mom proud, proud to make myself proud.
That’S my goal: to have enough finances to be relaxed, not to think about bills and stuff right.
Do not use my God to use my time properly to do more and more things like I explained so.
My goal is to be happy of being a professional boxer.
Choosing this man’s sport.
If they punch me, you know I might die in the ring right.
So I risk my life mm-hmm, a bunch people to beat the people into pain for that yeah.
I like that.
I like that yeah in our respect, every fighter that’s face me because of them I’ll be one step further right.
My goal is not uh my dream.
Everything and I’m making my dreams come true every day, but that’s um, that’s necessary thing that I need to do a bit better to make my money come from to make my brother proud, because I don’t have time to use it to to lose it right.
I have time to be successful.
For example, when I eat I want to eat good food, it’s the same thing yeah, it’s the same thing I wanted to actually ask you.
You touched about you working in the prison, yeah uh yeah.
Tell us more about that.
You know female boxer working in prison uh.
What were you doing there? How did you help or what? What did you do? I mean that that job is not easy.
I I got that opportunity very spontaneous because um my colleague organized uh tournaments in the jail like the only female fighter right now in Bulgaria.
It’S me so he invited me and I’m like.
Of course I accept so when I accepted that uh there was one opportunity that I don’t want to miss in life, seeing a person that kills his mother, his daughter or whatever bad situation, and me to see that person in the face it wasn’t.
It wasn’t easy.
Okay, I’ve said this: I accept it because that’s another lesson that I’m going to learn and tell the kids right, the kids or friends or whoever so I started organizing tournaments.
Also being part of this is really really really interesting.
Yeah and yeah, and also I give a chance of person that made a mistake, but this mistake: uh has many steps step one you need to have um good behavior right to all the appearance, step two.
He need to work more step.
Three.
You need to train step four.
He needs to apply all the tournaments, not only boxing specifically boxing them football and soccer president other other tournaments, but we start with boxing.
So when we apply everything those are like 10, 6, 10 or 20 stuff.
When he’s successful at them, his price is going down chance you to go out of the jail earlier earlier than you planned yeah, and it’s also like rehabilitate the prisoners.
Yes exactly right, the most important thing are different.
I’M black right! You see I’m black in Bulgaria, people look at me differently.
So that’s another thing.
Different person helps the different people right yeah.
So I I don’t.
Of course I don’t.
I don’t like somebody to to do bad things yeah.
I don’t like that.
Don’T like that, but giving a chance if one person change if one person got out of the jail and it’s changed different yeah, imagine imagine 20 or 30 or 40 whatever.
If one I’m thankful that I am that I did my job.
Well, that’s very amazing um.
I also watch in America how they treat that that situation, kids problem, kids, sandwiches right, they make problems, they put them in jail with the big guys, so the big guys wore them beat them and stuff they stay one or two days and after they go out Of the jail they realize that they made a mistake, so I imagine those people are kids.
I just imagine that uh when they did that thing killing stealing whatever they didn’t, have that brain to realize.
What’S going on yeah, so I explained in that life outside of the jail beautiful, it’s better yeah Priceless.
The tournament starts, I put music, we all dance, we warm up and all of them were like.
I can’t wait to go out.
I can’t wait.
I’M like yeah, you need to work hard because your wife, your kids, their living life.
You know here you need to do the tournaments to live a better life.
Yes put the aggression there, not outside yeah.
So that’s one chance.
I mean you know we are born.
Uh we live in different Hood situations, but um if you give a chance for a person to change that, also make you a better person right.
Yes, so um, that’s what that’s one of the things that I’m really proud of doing things is it like? Does it carry on? Is it an annual thing that you guys keep doing that side the tournaments in the organization yeah? We do it.
We just had it for two months, two months, so the next one is November or January.
Okay, like after the holidays, yeah, it depends, it depends if we have enough prisoners who want to apply, because there are prisoners that they wan na, they don’t want to apply.
They want to live in the jail life.
Your choice nobody’s forcing you nobody, yes, so, and I yeah.
If you make that change, then you become a better person that change it’s.
It’S also for me and I’m thankful that giving you a chance.
You appreciate it and you regret you you’re just out of out of the bad things and the bad situation, that’s good! It’S like yeah, it’s good, it’s good! And now I want to touch uh about I’ve.
Seen a little bit on your movies.
You’Ve acted with uh a few big stars and yes, uh tell us a bit about youth Exodus.
I know you’ve been so that’s it.
Can you tell us more of that? Yeah yeah.
So that’s one of my favorite things that I love to do uh.
I think stand and doubling um is dangerous.
I’M working for that job in Bulgaria.
There is no one than me and my brother that that is having that job.
Only me and my brother we’re doing on the black side.
You understand we’re the only black girl and boy that are uh, flexible dancers, so uh boxers kickboxers everything.
So we have a lot of work and we work with uh very, very famous actress and actors uh.
I work with General Motors right now.
I’M working with Michael Bixby, I’m working with Mark Michael or Martin Ford, the big guy.
Now I’ve worked with uh uh Antonio Banderas, I’m around every famous person in Bulgaria.
I know because we’re also I’m doing movies Sorry, video clips and commercials video clips in famous singers and also for me, some people are like.
Oh, you know, famous people.
What was the what’s that world’s famous? What’S the meaning of face being on TV, doing your doing your job or doing whatever you want now famous, it’s okay is to be a good person.
So when I have a connection with the famous actor or actress, I want to see this and this if they have good heart and good intentions and there are good people to be their famous right.
I don’t care about money.
We all work for money to pay.
Our bills right so when I have connection with those people like if I call them friends that means yes, okay, yeah, because I know a lot of famous people alone and if they have a bad behavior, we just want our job.
Thank you bye! That’S it! I don’t give you more than more of myself: no energy.
Obviously you don’t deserve it.
That’S amazing, like just listening to your story from the gymnastics to the kickboxing, the boxing and the movies, what you’re doing in the prisons.
It’S it’s amazing, especially.
You know um for a female uh for females.
I told you uh, not a baggage on you.
I don’t know it’s a lot um seriously.
It’S not if you’re with me one day, yeah uh.
I know that I’m I’m doing more than one man can handle.
That’S.
Why it’s very hard sometimes to have a man next to me because he can, if he can add more in my life, be true or I know, or I got it already.
I don’t need that man right.
It’S not about money, it’s not about finances! It’S about something that I don’t have already or I don’t, because I work hard to have everything by myself right.
So, if you come in my life, you need to bring something new that you don’t have yeah yeah.
I feel you yeah, for example, love right.
I can’t actually love myself, you know, but you know what I mean yeah, that’s the only thing right when you’re successful you need somebody to [, __, ] or right, I’m sharing with my friends whatever, but share with a partner.

I don’t need those things to have fun to be a better person.
The only thing I need people to see the good example, the motivation that I have, because I don’t wan na open that subject.
But let me tell you something that I didn’t share with you.
I have okay, let’s keep it here.

I don’t want to say where it doesn’t matter, I’m like a machine.
Yes, so how broke my body parts many times? 22 three times 23 times right, nobody, but that, but it’s true wow I haven’t, showed you that yeah one of my scars is here and that’s obviously from the stunts and the movies.
No, no! It’S not wrong! It’S from other stuff.
Just before when I was a gymnast when I was growing, my body was born.
When I was a teenager, I broke my ankles, my my fingers, my 18.
.
I have other situations uh.
I had a kind of class, okay, yeah, so uh living being in the hospital watching the state of Washington, um the room and everything.
I realized that I just came from hell so from tomorrow.
When I recovered I’m going to live life to the poorest and I’m going to do more things than the others about to do many things, people will not believe so.
That happened nice nice.
That happened amazing, amazing, very amazing, literally I don’t care who can stop me? Who took behind my back in front of me I’ll smash that door and I’ll work the cars to get what I deserve, because things that I deserve, I will work for it.
I don’t get everything like that.
No right I work for that.
I have been through hell and nobody can be on my level right now.
It’S very hard.
You need to be more.
You need to be way way more.
How can I not motivate you you just hear that I have 12 operations so tomorrow, if you hit your finger, you say: do I have to have operations? I just hit my finger out of your pain.

Whatever your plan is, go to that plan risk.
Many people say: no, that’s not your job.
That’S not your way! That’S not right! No, if you feel it here and here that’s the right way, so people try to stop you.
The people try to punish you and talk things.
No, you need to know that if you feel like doing something with all your heart and brain you’ll be the best at it and it will happen.
