Boxer Cara Jade (37, UK), a former ring girl, has taken the initiative ahead of her upcoming bout against 19-year-old Icelandic social media star Erica Knight.
Britain's 'The Sun' reported on the 17th (Korea time) that Jade taunted Knight, saying, "Leave your 250,000 followers at home. I'm bringing my fists."
Jade is the Misfits Boxing 115-pound (52kg) women's lightweight champion and a mother of four. She is 18 years older than the 19th-year-old Knight; in fact, Jade's eldest son is even older than Knight. The two fighters will clash in the ring on October 10.
Jade downplayed Knight's skills. "Knight became famous not for her boxing ability but for provocative TikTok videos," she said. "I wonder if that confidence will hold when it's just the two of us in the ring."
She further drew a line, stating, "I am 37 and a fully grown adult. I won't argue with children on TikTok." She also emphasized her rich life experience and real-world combat skills by adding, "Once the cameras are off and the bell rings for the fight, the real battle begins."
Jade, a London native, has an unconventional career path. She worked as a ring girl in major combat sports organizations such as Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) before putting on the gloves herself. In Misfits Boxing, she defeated former BKFC star Taylor Starring and others to become champion, maintaining an undefeated streak.
However, in March, she suffered her first professional defeat against Pearl Gonzalez in a 125-pound middleweight title bout. At the time, Jade engaged in a fierce verbal and physical confrontation at the press conference, even slapping her opponent's cheek. In the actual fight, after a grueling five-round battle that caused bleeding from the opponent's nose, she narrowly lost by decision with a score of 2-3.
Jade was not discouraged by her first loss. "Although I lost, I was genuinely satisfied with my performance," she stated. "That first defeat actually became greater motivation for me."
The media reported that Jade, currently focused on training, is determined to win against Knight based on the painful experiences she has accumulated while fighting veterans.
