How excited are you about fighting in the U.S.?
Kristina çəkic: “I’m really excited about it because this is a very big fight. I can’t wait to get there, step into the ring and put on a great performance.”

What do you need to do to win?

What do you think of Claressa inside and outside of the ring?
