“It hurts, it’s tiring, it’s exhausting.”Of course, Janjaem is really good at boxing.
At last year’s world championships, she won a silver medal in her welterweight division (66 kg, about 145 pounds).
Even if she goes no further, Janjaem said, boxing has already saved her.
Now 24, she has bought land and gold for her parents and a pickup truck for herself.
Her older brother, by contrast, left school at 15 to work with their father, a truck driver.
