The European Boxing Confederation (EUBC) presented a film dedicated to Stoyka Krasteva, the women's flyweight Olympic Champion in Tokyo 2020. The 48-minute film is the sixth episode of the series ''The Protagonists''. 

Stoyka Krasteva talks about the thorny road to the top. ''I felt great satisfaction after defeating the person ranked No. 1 in the world rankings, Buse Naz Çakıroğlu (Turkiye). Throughout my 23 year-long career I have been guided by the maxim that hard work always pays off despite the difficulties and the obstacles. In the end my work was rewarded. I say my work, but it's not just mine. It's the work of an awful lot of people who stand in the shadows behind the athlete, so that he can perform at his best’’, Stoyka Krasteva said about her victory in Tokyo.
