Berlin female boxer Zeyna Nassar has already won many titles, and her battle for wearing hijab in the ring has made her an equal opportunities champion. For reference: hijab (from the Arabic “barrier, veil”) - a traditional headdress of Muslim women, covering the head, neck, shoulders and exposing only the face and hands.
Achievements and goals of muslim woman boxer
Today, a 21-year-old woman, fond of boxing from a teenage age, is a champion among amateur featherweight champions and dreams of becoming a champion. Nassar grew up in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin and believes that she became stronger and achieved much thanks to the fact that she had to prove to the world twice as much as other athletes. And all because she wears a hijab.
The immediate goals of the boxer's training are the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and the Paris Games in 2024. The dream came true in February 2019, when the AIBA (International Boxing Association) introduced a number of amendments to the rules to allow Muslims to wear hijab and cover their bodies in the ring. “Now the opportunities are equal and come down to results, not appearance, ” says Nassar, who trains in a full-size top, leggings and a hijab.

Hijab certificate
A scarf is a piece of clothing designed to cover the head and cover part of the face. Often it is used by representatives of a particular religion (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) in African, European or Asian society. A variety of forms of scarves are designed to be worn daily and on holidays. Wedding dresses, ceremonies, and traditional rituals are no exception.
Nassar in the ring
In 24 fights held by Nassar, which weighs 57 kilograms, 18 victories are recorded, including one knockout, which is considered a rarity in this weight category. The strength of the boxer lies in the speed and unconventional manner of fighting, which is not very pleasant for rivals in the ring. For many years, a student of the faculty of sociology could not participate in international competitions because of clothing.
This year, the German Boxing Federation, which changed the rules in 2013, nominated Nassar to the European Championship (in the category under 22 years old), which, however, will not accept a participant in such clothes.
