A lot of people thought I was crazy for doing this, it was a big challenge, but I did it, I avenged my defeat and won. I've faced situations like this, I had to believe in myself to get in there. On these occasions, victory is better. The more challenge you have, the better the victory,” said Holm, referring to the boxing duel against Frenchwoman Anne Sophie Mathis.
