At the Feenix tournament in Turku in October 2001, she met in the semifinals again on Myriam Lamare and was subject to this again on points. At the 2nd Women's World Championships in December 2001 in Scranton / USA , she then defeated Terhi Luhka, Finland (16: 1), Joy Liu, USA (15: 3), Christina Cerpi, Italy (12: 8) and in the light welterweight division Final Myrian Lamare (12:10) and became world champion at the age of 18.
