| 21-year-old Vibha. The first time she got punched on the bridge of her nose she went ballistic and hit her sparring partner hard -the moves had nothing to do with boxing :) |
 |
| Raj Kumar coaches the 9 women boxers that Bangalore has. The youngest joined last month -she's nine-and-a-half years old. |
 |
| Vibha says that 95% of the boys are supportive and encouraging. The remaining 5%? She doesn't care. |

| Pavitra stood 3rd in a Kannada reality show based on the lines of Fear Factor |
 |
| 15-year-old Raechel won the bronze medal at the sub-junior national women's boxing championship. The first medal that Karnataka has won in women's boxing -ever! |
