Shevchenko believes that holding such intergender matches in large arenas is wrong. “In training, I often technically and physically surpass many men, but in the arena, this is completely unacceptable. It contradicts the nature of human essence, and the audience perceives it negatively. One should not succumb to modern trends,” she added. “Gender equality is a word that I don’t like. Even saying it is difficult for me. Women should compete against each other, and men should compete against each other,” the champion concluded.
