"The feeling of accomplishment, it's great, there are so many hours of work behind that", explained the friendly champion, Monday, to "Hi, Hello!".

"Now, I'm going to take advantage of a great week to be on my cloud," she said... even though she was already back in the gym on Sunday!

"It's like a racehorse, if you train it for eight weeks, after that you can't leave it in its box!", She illustrated.

Once back down from her cloud, she will prepare for her next challenge, when she will presumably have to defend her title unless a unification bout becomes possible.

“I thrive on challenges, so I'm waiting for my next challenge and if there's one to give me, it's (his promoter) Yvon Michel,” she summed up.

The champion then became emotional for a brief moment when it came time to talk about her family.

"My dad, my mom, I love them so much, they're my family and they've been supporting me for all these years," she explained.
