Egypt Criss, the daughter of Treach and Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton, made her boxing debut and, despite ultimately losing and getting knocked out, she’s keeping her head high.
For those who missed it, two-time Olympic taekwondo champion Jade Jones knocked out the reality TV star during a Misfits Boxing event at Vaillant Live. The fight came to an end in the second round after Jones landed a series of clean punches that ultimately dropped her opponent. Soon after the finish, the KO clip instantly went viral on social media.
Although it was Jones’ first boxing appearance, sports fans gave her props for the confidence and control she showed from the opening bell. Now, instead of taking this first big L and quitting, Criss is letting fans know she’s just getting started. Here’s what she had to say in a new Instagram video post:
Now, Criss has challenged other known heavy hitters to step into the ring with her. She previously tapped Chrisean Rock for a boxing match. The Baddies star hasn’t accepted yet since she’s currently in training as well, but it’s unclear if Criss still wants to go glove-to-glove with her after her recent match.
Despite all of this, her supporters have been sending her encouraging words to keep going—and it looks like that’s exactly what she plans to do.
