Two years ago we told you about Jessica Lawrence making her way into the NPC bikini division from boxing. Thanks to a tip from Team Bombshell we learned that the striking blonde was hanging up her boxing gloves for a bikini. It’s not a move you often hear about in fact, Jessica is the only boxer turned IFBB Pro that I’m aware of. After achieving IFBB Pro status and pop-n-pose’n at a few bikini shows, Jess has decided to return to boxing. She made the move to New York from Florida and is dominating in the ring.
Last Friday night Jessica was back in the ring slugging it out in a Golden Gloves tournament. She wasted no time reminding everyone that she has more than just a pretty face and a hard body. She pummeled her opponent and won by a referee stoppage. Jess not only collected a win but also “fighter of the night” honors. The victory places her in the semi-finals, held this Thursday, and if she wins there she’ll be fighting for the Golden Gloves title.
Good luck Jessica!
