My reason for rejecting the fight now has nothing to do with fear. I believe that if you want to do sports, you do it without any interference with your muscle mass. I always trained, I always took care of my food and I spent 18 years of my life in sports without using something that is not allowed”, highlighted the Dutchwoman.
