The diamond

Fai Phannarai Netisri (24) is a professional boxer. She has been in the ring 14 times in recent years and has won 14 times. She has been world champion twice. Her fight name: “The Diamond”, because she can't be broken. Her grandfather, a former Thai boxer, taught Fai how to box. The sport gave her a home when the Thai came to Germany. She wants to pass on this feeling and be a role model for other women. Because they are often overshadowed by men in boxing.
