Selaj needed a trainer. She met Jetmir Kuci. He is a boxing champion. Kuci trains Selaj. Selaj worked hard. She won medals in competitions. Selaj’s parents were very pleased.
Ertan Kraja is a boxer too. He trains with Selaj. At first, Kraja didn’t like this. But now, it is OK.

Selaj wants to box at the Olympics. She feels excited. Boxing is her perfect sport.
Selaj: "In the beginning for me, boxing was an impossible love that I could never imagine, but now faced with the results, with my will to continue, I think that today boxing is a possible love that belongs entirely to me."
