Choi Hyun-Mi of South Korea poses after defending her crown at the WBA featherweight title match against challenger Tsubasa Tenku (not pictured) of Japan at a gym in Sungkyunkwan University in Suwon, south of Seoul November 21, 2009. Choi is known as the "Defector Boxer Girl" in South Korea, where she is a new hope for a declining sport in the country that was known for producing scrappy and fearless fighters who steadily climbed the world rankings. Choi traded an accordion for boxing gloves, Kim Jong-il's cult leadership for capitalism, and the red bandanas worn by North Korean school children for the World Boxing Association championship belt.
