Svelta Taskova,
born December 30, 1970, in Sofia, Bulgaria is one of a few that has
entered the sport of women's boxing.
She has been involved in kickboxing, boxing, wrestling, and bodybuilding.
Taskova began
boxing in 1994, and she then got into kickboxing in 1997.
Taskova has found it difficult to
be able to earn money in women's boxing. Taskova said,
"It’s still difficult, because there’s is no money in
women's boxing in Bulgaria. As in every other sport, somebody
has to pay to organize Professional Boxing Night to invite managers to see
us, so that international matches can be made. So I don’t want to talk
about the training conditions. In our club Rondia sport we have a
wonderful gym but the others have to prepare in miserable places."
When Taskova was asked why she got into boxing, she had only one word
for it, "Pleasure." Taskova said that she has earned titles as a National Bulgarian
kick-boxing champion, and Bulgarian National Amateur Boxing Champion. |
