“She shone throughout the tournament, securing several consecutive victories against highly skilled boxers from the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Egypt. Under the guidance of coach Marjola Sallauka, Donjeta displayed perfect technique and exceptional preparation in the grand final, when she beat the world champion, and throughout all the bouts.
