Dr. Cohen holds a profound knowledge of the sport. In fact, she herself is a powerlifter who can lift 4.4 times her body weight. But what recently glorified her feat the most is her boxing prowess. Evidently, the DPT defeated her opponent in the boxing ring as a continuation of her debut in 2021. But as per her social media, the pro boxer is now in conflict with the norms.

The Venezuelan bodybuilder took to her Instagram to share her thoughts. “If you tell me “I shouldn’t feel pressured”, you just don’t get it. Respectfully,” she captioned the post along with a picture. In that picture, the powerlifter is seen facing the other side. The image has a caption on itself, “I feel pressured to show more skin than I’m comfortable with”.

“Why let social media drain you? Life outside of your phone is more important. You do it to yourself really”

“In the world of social media, it’s tough not to feel pressured. Being a woman might be one of the hardest things to do these days.”

“It is your choice. Do what empowers you.”

While fans took her side and encouraged her to overcome these feelings, some differed and stated it was solely her choice.
