From runway to ring: Model takes on professional fight

Terezie Garbaczewska, a well-known Czech model and combat sports enthusiast, is set to make her professional debut in the ring later this year, an event eagerly anticipated by her fans.

A prominent figure in the fitness industry, Garbaczewska reached the final round of the Miss Fitness competition last year and is presently a semifinalist in the competition for the title of most beautiful Czech woman.

The 26-year-old model frequently shares photographs detailing her impressive and premeditated physique on Instagram, where she is followed by 11,000 people, although this number is expected to increase significantly following her professional debut.

Garbaczewska has been pursuing a dual career: modeling and martial arts. So far, she has participated in numerous amateur K-1 and MMA fights. Despite being a finalist in the second season of the reality show "I am a fighter," she lost in the final against another Czech celebrity, Natalia Trikalovej.

Garbaczewska made it public in Czech media that becoming a professional fighter has been her dream since childhood. Recounting her journey, she said:

My first professional bout is something I've been looking forward to. My mother used to take me for ballet and Latin American dance classes, not forgetting horse riding, but I was always more inclined towards combat sports. I'm delighted that I will get to fulfill my dream - she told the Czech media.

Garbaczewska's professional debut is scheduled for December 30 at a combat sports gala in Prague, where she will face off against former Czech MMA player, Petr Kniže.

Fans may fret over Garbaczewska possibly ending her modeling career as she advances in her sports career. But the 26-year-old states otherwise, though she concedes that some photo sessions and assignments will have to wait until her combat injuries heal.
