Antonina Shevchenko is done fighting professionally.
Antonina, older sister of UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, announced her decision to hang up the gloves in a lengthy Instagram post Thursday. This decision comes nearly three years after her last UFC outing.
“Dear friends!,” Antonina wrote. “I didn’t have the opportunity to leave my gloves in the octagon by tradition, I didn’t think my fight in UFC in 2022 would be the last. I am leaving my gloves in this post. 30 years in sport, black belt 3rd dan in Taekwondo, 11 World Champion titles in Muay Thai, Kickboxing and MMA.
