The 23-year-old from Torre Annunziata, nicknamed “The Butterfly”, was destined for greatness. Her passion for boxing blossomed at the age of 12 thanks to her sister Lucia and she immediately enjoyed a string of achievements. Her boxing trophy cabinet includes two European gold medals and one World Championship gold, the latter won in March 2023 in New Delhi.
