Emma Valkyria Gongora: a professional boxer
French Champion in 2021 in English boxing, World Champion in 2019 in kickboxing, and a former elite athlete in the 400-meter hurdles, Emma has excelled in highly demanding disciplines—each requiring endurance, mental strength, and discipline.
Her journey is both unique and inspiring. Emma transitioned from athletics to combat sports with exceptional energy and boldness. Today, she is not only a professional fighter but also a certified sports coach and founder of her own company, VLK BUSINESS, specializing in physical preparation and motivational coaching.
Emma represents a new generation of well-rounded athletes: high-performing, committed, and versatile. With a Bachelor’s-level education in logistics, public works, and water management, she perfectly embodies the balance between academic achievement and elite sports ambition.
