She seemed to enjoy boxing more then
basketball and left University to pursue her career. Boxing was just so much
more exciting to her, it was a thrill it was all on her unlike basketball
where it was a team thing and she handled the pressure extremely well.
Training out of Regency Boxing Club in Canada her coach Dave Finch always
has her working using her height and quickness to her advantage. Christina
trains 5 days a week and runs everyday. She spars with many people at the
gym but mostly the guys. The highlight of Christina’s sparring is when her
teammate and lightweight champion of the world Jessica Rakoczy is back in
Canada. It gives her the inspiration and a great opportunity to learn more
techniques when Jessica is in town and to train with one of the best. She is
also confident she will be the next female boxer form Canada to follow in
her teammates footsteps.
It seems to come natural to Christina she is a very quick learner and has
the desire and passion to follow through with her goals and dreams of
becoming the heavyweight champ of the world. Christina also trains with most
of the young and upcoming female boxers at her gym and then teaches a boxing
class for boys and girls ages 7-13 yrs old once a week. She keeps busy with
her training, teaching and her 2 jobs, one at a restaurants and another at a
deli.
Boxing is a natural talent that nobody, not even Christina knew she had.
Boxing started as a way to keep in top physical conditioning during the off
season of basketball, which has now turned into a career choice. Proving to
herself and the people around her that she is one of the best and will be
the best and the whole world will know. Its her attitude that shocks people
the most she is never negative knowing she can do anything when it comes to
boxing she stays calm and focused. It’s a weird mix but she is always happy
and smiling while being ready for anything that comes her way.
