This Video of a 9-Year-Old Boxing Prodigy is Going Viral

When this article was originally published in 2016, Evnika Saadvakass was being celebrated as “The Fastest Girl.” At just 9 years old, she impressed viewers with boxing speed, power, and technique far beyond her age.

Evnika had been training with her father and siblings since she was 3. Her practice sessions—sometimes involving a tree in the family’s yard—showed the dedication and discipline she was developing at an early age.

Evnika’s father, a successful boxer himself, began training his children when they were young because he believed a strong athletic foundation could benefit them in many areas of life.

The video below captures Evnika as a young athlete and reflects the determination, family support, and enthusiasm that made her performance so memorable. Because the original footage is from 2016, Evnika is no longer 9 years old; this article celebrates the skills she demonstrated at that time.
