TURLOCK TEEN IS HOPING TO BOX
HER WAY TO THE 2020 GAMES.
COURTNEY HAS A LOOK AT SOME
OF THE REWARDS.
LET'S GET READY TO INTERVIEW.
I WAS PRAYING THAT YOU WERE
NOT GOING TO SAY RUMBLE FOR TWO
REASONS.
ONE, SHE IS 16 AND THAT WOULD
BE A FELONY.
AND ALSO, SHE WOULD KICK MY
PUTT.
I DON'T -- BUTT.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT.
SANDRA, GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
AND FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY
BIRTHDAY.
YOU JUST CELEBRATED YOUR
BIRTHDAY ON WHEN?
NEW YEAR'S EVE.
SHE'S A NEW YEAR'S EVE BABY.
LET'S GET READY TO EAT SOME
CAKE.
LISTEN.
THE MOST RECENT BELT IS THIS
ONE.
WHEN WAS THIS?
DECEMBER.
AND THIS ONE?
LAST DECEMBER.
THIS IS THE HEAVIEST.
WHEN DID YOU WIN THIS ONE?
IT WAS EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
WE HAVE VIDEO OF YOU IN A
FIGHT, A RECENT FIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THIS WAS?
I JUST KNOW IT WAS IN
FRESNO.
IT WAS IN OCTOBER.
OH, IT WAS IN OCTOBER.
OKAY.
SO NOT TOO MANY MONTHS AGO.
WHEN YOU GET INVOLVED IN A
SPORT LIKE BOXING, A LOT OF
PEOPLE ASSUME IT'S A MALE-
DOMINATED SPORT, AND IT IS, BUT
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING
INVOLVED, YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.
AND YOU ARE A PETITEY SWEETIE
BUT THEY PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO
GET ON YOUR LEFT SIDE.
WHAT IT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE FIND
OUT YOU'RE A BOXER?
A LOT OF THEM SAY I LOOK TOO
NICE AND THEY ARE LIKE REALLY
SURPRISED BECAUSE THEY ARE USED
TO GUY BOXERS.
BUT THE THING IS, GIRLS CAN DO
IT ALSO.
ABSOLUTELY AND THAT'S YOU IN
THE BLUE?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
NO.
I'M IN THE RED.
OH, THAT'S YOU IN THE RED.
OKAY.
WHAT'S YOUR REACH?
HOW FAR DO YOU --
I HAVE A PRETTY LONG REACH.
I DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT.
I'M JUST ASKING.
I DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT.
I'M JUST ASKING.
LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S WHEN YOU WIN.
HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU
STARTED BOXING?
8.
MY QUESTION -- HOW OLD IS
NATALIA?
SHE WILL BE 7. NOT GOING TO
BE A BOXER.
[LAUGHTER]
I'M SERIOUS.
LIKE WE MENTIONED, A LOT OF
PEOPLE MAKE RESOLUTIONS AND
PEOPLE SUFFER FROM DIABETES,
OBESITY, BOXING MIGHT BE
SOMETHING FOR THEM, MALE OR
FEMALE.
AND IF YOU DID BOXING, YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE TO ALWAYS GET IN
THE RING AND FIGHT.
YOU CAN JUST WORK OUT.
IT'S GOOD TO GET YOU IN SHAPE.
IT'S SERIOUS CARDIO.
RIGHT?
72 YEAH.
AND A LOT OF UPPER BODY
STRENGTH, TOO?
YEAH.
I IMAGINE YOU USE YOUR WHOLE
BODY.
YEAH.
I'M ASKING BECAUSE HANG OUT
A BIT.
IN THE NEXT HOUR, WE ARE GOING
TO GET GLOVES.
AND CODY -- DO YOU -- DO YOU
WANT TO SPAR WITH ONE OF US?
MAYBE NOT SPAR.
MAYBE THAT --
CAN I TEACH YOU GUYS THE
BASICS.
BASICS.
OKAY.
DO WE NEED TO STRETCH FIRST?
72 NO.
YOU ARE 16.
WE ARE IN OUR 40s.
WE SHOULD PROBABLY STRETCH.
OH, YEAH.
OKAY.
SHE IS SO SWEET.
STICK AROUND.
COMING UP, SHE IS HEADED TO THE
OLYMPICS.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT COMING
UP IN THE NEXT HOUR AS WELL.
THAT IS THE HOPE AND THE BELTS
