Abeer Bahloul is a female Syrian boxer who has developed her skills through continuous training. She participated in local championships and became one of the distinguished boxers in the country.
Bahloul, 27, said in a statement to SANA “I started boxing alongside a number of female colleagues two years ago during which I worked hard to enhance female boxing in Syria and that made me a main player representing the Boxing Federation in many tournaments.
Bahloul added: “Although my training period was short in the first stage at Al-Nidal Club, but I managed to win the first place in the Republic Championship, which was held for the first time in the country two years ago. This victory was a strong motivation for me to intensify my training under the supervision of Coach Mohamed Shehadeh. After this tournament, I moved to a new stage of training by applying up-to-date methods, ” she pointed out.
Bahloul noted that the number of good female boxers in Syria has increased, despite the fact that this game is rough and it may not be appropriate for girls. “In fact it is the sport of intelligence and self-confidence,” she stressed.
Bahloul called on concerned parties to pay more attention to female boxing and to enhance the players’ experience by intensifying local tournaments and giving female boxers the opportunity to participate in international tournaments to gain more experience.
