Anastasiya Yankova

Anastasia Yankova is the champion of Russia in Thai boxing. She is called "Russian Gina Carano" and the most beautiful MMA athlete. Despite the external fragility, today she is one of the most famous Russian women involved in martial arts.

Anastasia Stanislavovna Yankova was born in Moscow on March 1, 1991. At the age of 7, she went to the kyokushinkai karate section and was enthusiastically engaged in it until the end of the 9th grade. The girl came to the fight to protect those who could not stand up for themselves; According to Anastasia, in training she felt like the heroine of her beloved TV series Xena - Warrior Princess.

Parents were not delighted with their daughter's hobby - her mother took Nastya to dances, tried to teach her to bike and roller skates, but she wanted to fight.

Having won the championship of the Central Federal District at the age of 14, Yankova decided to take a break in her sports career in order to devote time to her studies and decide in which direction to develop further. She devoted the next 3 years to her second hobby - drawing. Having chosen the profession of a fashion designer, the girl entered a specialized university. Later, Anastasia received a second degree in psychology.

At the age of 19, she decided to resume her sports career, changing from karate to Thai boxing. A year later, Yankova passed the standard of a candidate for master of sports and won the Russian championship. In 2012, she made her debut as a professional fighter, entering the ring against Anna Veselova, the fight organized a new project W5 Fighter, and the competitions were held at the Arena Moscow Club. This and the subsequent fight Anastasia won on points, despite the fact that for the second time Victoria Koryushko, the best Ukrainian kickboxing fighter at that time, came out against her.

In December 2013, Anastasia suffered the first defeat in her professional career from her compatriot Yana Lyashko. The loss did not break her fighting spirit, and the next meeting with the German athlete Daniela Graf ended with the victory of the Russian woman.

An important stage in Yankova's sports biography was her participation in the show "Hit the Bone", which the "Boxing Academy" held in Moscow in 2015. After long trainings with Anton Uberg, she was able to defeat an experienced rival, Italian Luana Lorenzoni, and this victory became the 10th in a row in Anastasia's career.

In 2013, the White Rex Pro tournament was held in the capital's Totem Hall, where Yankova was already an experienced fighter. In the ring, she was marked by a spectacular victory over Eleonora Tassinari - a successful painful hold in the 2nd round helped her to defeat the representative of Italy.

The next victory was followed by a 2-year break in his career. The first performance after him according to the rules of MMA was a fight at a tournament in St. Petersburg. 2016 turned out to be 2 new victories for Anastasia, and 2017 - only one (by a split decision). She explained the decline in training activity and performances with thyroid problems and the need to lose weight.

In 2018, the athlete signed a contract with Bellator, the second largest MMA promotion in the world.

Yankova prefers not to talk about her heartfelt affairs, it is only known that she has no husband and children yet. On Instagram - a photo only with girls, which became the reason for rumors about her unconventional orientation.

Anastasia tries to spend her free time from training on her second favorite hobby - design. Due to her spectacular appearance and ability to stay in front of the camera, she often receives offers to appear for various publications as a model. She is best known for her pin-up photo shoot for Menth Health magazine, and on her Instagram there are a lot of sexy shots in swimsuits and lingerie.

Yankova is not afraid to spoil the beauty in the ring, although during her career she has seen many serious injuries from her colleagues. She is confident that plastic surgeons will be able to restore her previous face.

The girl's height is 168 cm, weight - 55 kg. Anastasia's first coach was Artem Grigoriev, but when she realized that he couldn't give her anything else, she changed her mentor. Now she trains under the guidance of Sergei Kuibyshev.

According to her, she considers sparring with men especially useful - it helps to learn new techniques and better prepare for surprises in competitions.

There are 6 tattoos on the athlete's body, the first of which she made at the age of 17 - the phrase of the boxer Muhammad Ali: "Fly like a butterfly, sorry like a bee." On the last tattoo - a large drawing from ribs to knees - Anastasia was inspired by the Japanese legend of a mirror carp that turned into a dragon, daring to swim upstream. Also, one of the drawings is an image of Kali - the goddess of death and destruction.

In May 2018, Anastasia suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of British Kate Jackson during a duel at the Bellator anniversary tournament. The opponent fought a tactical battle, exhausting Yankova, and by the end of the 2nd round it was clear that the Russian woman no longer had enough strength.

In the end, Kate won by unanimous decision, and in an interview she called Anastasia a “bloated fighter” and said that she was pleased to “derail her”. However, now Yankova is not losing her fighting spirit and is training hard to take revenge.
