Vienna rejoices: Michael Kotásková named Boxer of the Year!

Austria can count itself lucky because the world boxer of the year 2024 comes from Vienna! Michael Kotaskova was honored by the international boxing federation WBF not only as “Boxer of the Year” for her outstanding achievements, but also for the spectacular “Fight of the Year”. The fight in question took place on November 30, 2024 during the “Bounce Fight” event in Vienna, where she impressively dominated her Swedish opponent Mikaela Lauren. The WBF used this remarkable achievement to name Kotaskova's fight "Fight of the Year", while the enthusiastically watched fights caused a lot of buzz on the Internet, such as the crown reported.

Impressive career

Kotásková, who only began her professional career in 2022, has quickly made a name for herself on the international boxing scene. With a record of nine wins, zero losses and two draws, she shows impressive skills in the ring. Her promoter-run boxing stable “Bounce” puts her team and the people who support her at the forefront, as boss and promoter Marcos Nader explains that these awards are a validation of their hard work. These successes set an example for women's boxing and at the same time honor the memory of Nader's late brother, like Vienna district newspaper highlights.

With her commitment and the support of her team, Kotaskova is well on the way to decisively shaping the future of boxing in Austria. The reward for her tireless training and determination is reflected not only in the titles she has won, but also in the growing enthusiasm for women's boxing in the region. These successes are not only celebrated in the ring, but also attract attention and recognition outside of sport.
