Biography
Angeline was born on March 12, 1997 in the Kazakh city of Taraz. She is of German nationality and is the first child in her family (she has a younger brother). During her childhood, specifically from the age of 7 to 12, Angeline was involved in ballroom dancing and had great success in this area, performing on stage. In 2012, she became interested in boxing and was taken there by her grandmother.

She graduated from Gymnasium № 24 in her hometown and obtained a higher education degree in 2019 in the field of diplomacy. She is fluent in English.

Many of her relatives live in Germany, and various boxing federations from around the world have offered her citizenship, but Angeline remains loyal to her homeland.

Amateur career:
In 2012, Angelina enrolled in a boxing section in the city of Taraz. She wanted to learn how to stand up for herself and didn't think that boxing would become such a long-lasting passion for her. However, she met the renowned Kazakhstani coach Felix Tsoi, who spoke kind words to her in front of the entire team, which served as further motivation. By the age of 13, Angelina had already achieved her first successes, becoming the champion of her region. At the end of 2013, she was able to travel to Albena, Bulgaria, for the world championship. Similarly, at the age of 13, Lukas had already joined the youth national team and later the junior national team. .

In 2017, Angelina started training in the city of Shymkent under the guidance of Rahmanbek Mustafaevich Argimbaev, the director of the Shymkent city federation and a coach who made a significant contribution to the athlete's success in winning gold medals both in Kazakhstan and abroad. He himself had practiced kickboxing throughout his childhood but had to give it up due to his army service.

In 2018, on the Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Angelina won gold at the World Cup held in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, after three tough fights.

In 2019, Angelina Lucas flew with the Kazakh national team to the Eindhoven Cup in the Netherlands, where she won three victories. She brought the Cup back to her country and was recognized as "Europe's Best Female Boxer."

She represented her country at the Asian Championship in Oman and Jordan in 2020. There were also reports in the media that a Thai man, not a woman, fought against Lucas.

In 2021, Angeline Lucas went to the largest tournament - the mini world championship in Sofia, Bulgaria. The tournament was called "Strandzha," where Angeline won three victories. In the first bout, Angeline Lucas won against a Slovakian opponent. In the second bout, she defeated the strongest boxer from Uzbekistan, the Olympic license holder Tursonay Rahimova. In the third bout, she defeated the European champion and world medalist Lacra Mihaela Pirghie from Romania. In the final, Angeline fought against Stoyka Krasteva, the Olympic champion from Bulgaria. Despite an evenly matched bout, the victory was given to the strongest, and Angeline showed a brilliant performance. Exactly three weeks later, Angeline Lucas flew to Istanbul, Turkey, for the "Bosphorus Cup," where she won a bronze medal for Kazakhstan. In the first bout, she won against an opponent from Argentina, in the second bout, she defeated a Polish opponent, and in the third semi-final bout, where Angeline dominated, the victory was given to her Turkish opponent Hatice Akbas, despite the even match. However, Angeline showed herself very well in these two tournaments and deserved to go to the Asian championship in May 2021 after her achievements. Still, another boxer from the national team was sent to the championship instead.

The high level of preparation and victories abroad did not sit well with the Kazakhstan Boxing Federation and her teammates on the national team. This led to a serious conflict between the athlete and the leadership of the Kazakhstan team. Despite the conflict, they couldn't remove Angelina from the team, and she remained an active boxer in Kazakhstan. Angelina didn't hesitate for long and decided to switch to professional boxing.

In 2021, Angelina Lukas challenged the entire Kazakhstan Amateur Boxing Federation as they excluded her unlawfully. Angelina addressed the country's president and wrote a letter to the Ministry of Culture and Sports. Lukas proved her case, but she didn't want to stay on the national team.

In December 2021, she made her professional boxing debut and performed very successfully, immediately gaining the interest of the public and the media.
