Flyweight Anastassia Toktaulova of Russia was born on March 6, 1977. She trained in karate and kickboxing before becoming a professional boxer. She was the Full Contact Karate Champion of the CIS in 1998 and won the ISKA Super Flyweight Oriental Rules World Title in 2001. She won the Russian flyweight boxing title in 2000 and the WIBF European Flyweight title in 2001. Since 2002 Anastasia has trained in Las Vegas, Nevada and has had several bouts against top competitors in the United States. On September 3, 1998 in Melilla, Spain, Anastasia won a four-round decision over Esther Paez of Spain in a flyweight bout. On November 6, 1998 in Copenhagen, Denmark, flyweight Sengül Ôzokcu of Denmark moved her pro record to 8-0, 3 KO's with a six-round unanimous decision over Anastasia. Ôzokcu improved to 8-0 with the win. On March 6, 1999 in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia won a six-round unanimous decision over debut fighter Natalya Geine, also of Russia, in a bantamweight bout. On March 27, 1999 at Sartory Säle in Cologne, Germany, WIBF European bantamweight champion Daisy Lang of Bulgaria retained her title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Anastasia. Lang was knocked down in the sixth round, but she went on to a 96-94, 98-94, 97-93 decision. The result was greeted by a chorus of boos at what looked like "home cooking" to my correspondent. Lang improved to 7-1 (4 KO) with the controversial win. On May 22, 1999 at the Sport Palace in Budapest, Hungary, Amsterdam-based Michele Aboro (118½ lbs) of England moved to a perfect 12-0 (9 KO) record with a six-round unanimous decision over Anastasia (115 lbs). Aboro won every round. On November 5, 1999 in Aalborg, Denmark, Sengül Ôzokcu of Denmark won her second six-round unanimous decision over Anastasia in a bantamweight bout, improving her record to 12-1 (3 KO). On February 12, 2000 in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia (111 lbs) rebounded from these losses to Aboro, Lang and Ôzokcu with a six-round unanimous decision over Oksana Ivasiva (112 lbs) also of Russia. On April 15, 2000 in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia (110½ lbs) won a six-round unanimous decision over pro debut fighter Lessya Chelyakina (114½ lbs) of the Ukraine. This bout was fought with three-minute rounds. On July 25, 2000 in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia won the vacant Russian flyweight title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Oksana Vasilyeva. Toktaulova has said that this was her best fight and that her proudest moment in boxing was when she received this belt. Vasilyeva fell to 1-1.
On May 12, 2001 at Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia won a split decision over Erin Linley of Calgary, Canada for the ISKA Super Flyweight Oriental Rules (low kicks above and below the knee, no knee strikes) World Title. Linley was fighting four divisions above her usual weight in order to make the match, and says she weighed in fully clothed. Toktaulova got to Linley early with two- and three-punch combinations, then began to showboat for her home fans. In the second round, Linley slipped and took a punch while still on the canvas. Linley kept her composure, used front kicks to deter Toktaulova from coming in close to punch. Linley then came back to dominate the middle rounds with low kicks, movement, and fast punching combinations, eventually keeping Toktaulova at bay by punishing the Russian's lead leg. Toktaulova finished strongly in the last round, pinning Linley against the ropes and firing with both hands (although Linley blocked many of these) to edge the decision on the scorecards in an exciting fight. Television color commentator Don Wilson stated, “This was the fight of the night". "One of the most inspiring fights I have see in a long time,” said ISKA President Schafer.
On November 29, 2001 in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia won a six-round decision over Yulia Shvets of Russia in a flyweight bout. Shvets was making her pro debut. On December 22, 2001 in Moscow, Russia, Anastasia won a six-round decision over Irina Kozheeva. Toktaulova now brought her boxing skills to the United States, seeking more fights and wider exposure.
On May 22, 2003 at HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, Wendy Rodriguez of Los Angeles (105 lbs) won a six-round split (58-56,58-56,56-58) decision over Anastasia (105 lbs), who was now fighting out of Las Vegas. Rodriguez was more aggressive and landed well with her right throughout the bout. Rodriguez progressed to 10-2-3 (1 KO) with the win. On June 20, 2003 at Home Depot Training Center in Dominguez Hills, California, Anastasia (104¾ lbs) TKO'd Tracey Stevens (105 lbs) of Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada at 1:44 in the second round. Toktaulova unleashed a series of unanswered punches that persuaded referee Jose Cobian to stop the fight. Stevens, who had injured her right hand near the end of the first round, fell to 5-5-0 (1 KO).
On October 29, 2005 at the Dr. László Papp Sportarena in Szentes, Hungary, Anastasia (106¼ lbs) returned to the ring after a two-year absence and defeated Viktoria Milo (107¼ lbs) of Nyíregyháza, Hungary by a 96-95,98-92,100-90 unanimous decision in a 10-round title bout for the vacant WIBF Junior Flyweight title. Anastasia improved her record to 11-8-0 (1 KO) with the win and was named WBAN November 2005 Fighter of the Month, while Viktória Milo fell to 14-5 (3 KO's).
On April 30, 2007 in Sant Petersburg, Russia, Anastasia (109¼
On December 5, 2008 at Sporthalle Brandberge in Halle an der Salle, Germany, Susi Kentikian (111½ lbs) defended her WBA and WIBF flyweight titles with a ten-round unanimous (98-92,98-92,99-91)decision over Anastasia (110½ lbs). According to WBAN correspondent Torben L., "Kentikian usually tears into her opponents from the first bell, but she made a fairly slow start against Toktaulova. She controlled the centre of the ring, and only displayed some of her fireworks in the last third of the round. Toktaulova used her footwork to keep herself out of harms way, and was also able to make her mark with some telling punches. The picture repeated itself in the following rounds. Toktaulova succeeded in keeping Kentikian at bay, using her reach advantage, but suffered when Kentikian managed to get in close, and throw her combinations. The pace went up in Round five, when the challenger came forward right from the start. She succeeded in catching Kentikian with some good right hands, but Kentikian tended to get through with one or two more punches than Toktaulova in the close up exchanges that ensued later in the round. Kentikian increased the pressure over the next four rounds - no doubt chasing the knock out she had predicted - but the Russian refused to let herself be intimidated by the aggressive 10 year younger world champion. Toktaulova took the some hard punches, but kept fighting back, and used her experience and ring craft to stay in the fight. The 10th round was a toe to toe battle, in which Kentikian showed why she is the world champion, displaying her punching repertoire, speed and not least her fighting heart." Kentikian improved to 23-0 (16 KO's) with the win. On December 17, 2010 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, Eileen Olszewski (110¾ lbs) of New York City won an impressive eight-round (80-72 x 3) unanimous decision over Anastasia Toktaulova (109½ lbs) for the GBU and WIBA 8-rd Flyweight titles. Toktaulova fell to 14-10-1 (2 KO's) with the loss while Olszewski improved to 7-2-2 (0 KO's).
