Comedian Shizuyo Yamasaki continues to fight despite her failed attempt to compete in the women's boxing competition at the 2012 London Olympics.

The 34-year-old Yamasaki, better known as "Shizu-chan," was among 16 fighters at the first Challenge Match competition held in Japan for nonprofessional female boxers in early April at Tokyo's Korakuen Hall.

"I felt scared and wanted to get away about three hours before the match," she said.
