Fiorot took to Instagram and shared her honest thoughts on her loss to Shevchenko. She wrote:
"It just hasn't been my day. Close fight, no success. And as much as it hurts, I know one thing: nothing happens by chance. Through experience I have learned to trust God has a plan. You have to accept, move on and keep fighting. My life is a series of hardships. But one thing for sure, I bounce back stronger every time." [Translated]
