This young girl could put two 10lb weights in her pockets and still not make it up to the atomweight limit.

But her lack of size does nothing to take away from the fact that she looks a genuine prospect in the boxing world for the years ahead. We don't think there's an 8-year-old alive with the kind of ludicrous hand-speed and prowess on the pads as Kazakhstan's Evnika Saadvakass. The little lady went viral two years ago with this video in which she showed off some phenomenal combinations alongside her trainer father Rustam. https://youtu.be/o7GXOdZeKos And it looks like she hasn't missed a day of drilling since then as her technique looks to have improved significantly from the first time we saw her, and it was pretty damn impressive then. https://youtu.be/hTkodB6gXbk We don't think she'll have too much of a problem with bullies at school.
