Firuza Sharipova presented Ireland's Katie Taylor with a soccer ball at todays weigh-in ahead of their blockbuster fight in Liverpool on Saturday.
Taylor is fighting to defend her undisputed world lightweight titles.
Both fighters came in at just below the 135-pound limit.
Taylor weighing 134 and 11 ounces and Sharipova 134 and four.
The Bray woman is looking to go (20-0) after defeating Natasha Jonas and Jennifer Han earlier this year.
In a strange interaction, the Kazakh fighter gifted Taylor a Euro 2020 soccer ball.
If it was an attempt at mind games, it certainly seemed a strange direction to go in as the former Republic of Ireland soccer international looked delighted with the present.
Taylor made 11 appearances for Ireland and scored twice between 2006 and 2009, with her final game coming against tomorrow nights opponents' home country, Kazakhstan.
Even though this is only a mandatory challenge for her WBA belt Taylor has put her five belts up for grabs against the 27-year old fighter who is a national treasure in her native country.
The pair will face each other in the Liverpool Arena tomorrow night.
Irish boxer Caoimhín Agyarko, who is also on the bill weighed in too ahead of his fight with American Noe Larious.
