She secured a spot for the 2020 Olympic Games through her performance at the 2021 European Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament in Villebon-sur-Yvette, France. (sport.interia.pl, 16 Jun 2021)

General
ASSAULT
In 2017 she beat Ewelina Wicherska in a national championship semifinal match. Wicherska did not agree with the result, and later in the day an altercation occurred between the two athletes. Drabik claimed that Wicherska and another woman had beat her up, severely injuring her arm and causing her to miss seven months of training. The case went to trial and in 2019 the court ruled in Drabik's favour, ordering the two other women to pay fines, as well as the costs of the case. "When the doctor said I could start fighting again and I returned to the national team, I was euphoric. I had waited for it for so long, it was a turning point for me." (Polsat YouTube channel, 06 Apr 2021; kielce.wyborcza.pl, 19 Nov 2019; poranny.pl, 13 Mar 2017)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
In 2021 she competed in the Polish edition of the reality television series 'Ninja Warrior'. (radio.kielce.pl, 03 Mar 2021)

DISQUALIFICATION
After competing at the 2014 World Championships in Jeju, Republic of Korea, she was disqualified by the International Boxing Association [AIBA] because the Polish Boxing Federation had not confirmed that she was no longer registered to compete in other combat sports. Initially suspended until December 2015, the ban was reduced following an appeal. She returned to competition in May 2015.
