What advice can you offer to a woman who wants to learn fitness boxing?
Whenever I see someone new at the gym, I say, “Be patient, don’t get frustrated, it’s awkward, everything about boxing is backward, you’ll learn so much if you stick with it.” 95% of people who stay with boxing have been transformed outside the ring. Go to a fight and you’ll understand after being in the gym.
What is your primary goal in life?
To learn to live more within my faith, strengthen it through boxing and touch someone in a positive way. Boxing is my vehicle; I do inspirational, motivational speaking, and have traveled to California for this. I try to help people through my life experience.
Do you have any upcoming bouts?
Yes, I’ll be out in Reno, Nevada. I will be the co-main event on a Let's Get it On promotional card. I want to thank the Mills Lane family for believing in me and blessing me with this opportunity.
Though you have a tough reputation in the gym, I understand you’re very feminine.
I get manicures, pedicures, and facials. I’m a real girly-girl.
In the ring though, I transform into a fighter or a boxer.
Because I have my own TV show and am in the media a lot, I’d like to a be a good role model for women — I’m proud to be woman in sports. But the sport shouldn’t be called women’s boxing, it should just be boxing.
