Boxing ring girl Jiselle Arianne has called out Russian president Vladimir Putin for a boxing fight after being asked who she would face in the ring.
The Bally Sports ring girl, who was involved in last weekend’s debut of Entro Box in Florida, was asked who she would like to fight if she ever stepped into the ring, and joked that she would want to face the Russian leader.
She was appearing at the boxing event which was headlined by Andranik Grigoryan vs Otabek Kholmatov when she mentioned that he would be her dream opponent. After pausing following the question, she replied: “That’s a good one. There’s so many. That’s hard. I’ll go with Putin. I’ll be aggressive.”
She isn’t the only person who wants to fight the Russian President, with Tesla boss Elon Musk offering to take him on in return for his immediate retreat from Ukraine. Musk tweeted: “I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat. Stakes are Ukraine.”
And Musk could end up with UFC commentator and martial arts veteran Joe Rogan in his corner. The infamous podcast host has offered his services as a coach to help Musk fight Putin, despite the major size difference between the pair.
“Elon Musk is a strange character,” Rogan said in a recent episode of ‘ The Joe Rogan Experience ‘. “Because first of all, he’s a very big man. He’s not small. Putin is smaller than me. Elon is quite a bit bigger than me. Elon is probably 6’2” and he’s big, he’s a big guy.
“I offered my services. I texted him. I said ‘dude, I will arrange all your training.’ I go, ‘if you really do fight Putin, I will arrange all your training.'”
Russian troops began invading Ukraine earlier this year, and heavy sanctions have been placed on the country as a result. It hasn’t slowed Putin’s efforts, and there are a number of top athletes on the frontlines in Ukraine defending their country from Russian troops.
Former world heavyweight champions Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko are working in the country, as well as current top boxers Oleksandr Usyk and Vasyl Lomachenko and Bellator MMA champion Yaroslav Amosov.
Both Lomachenko and Amosov have decided that they will forego world title fights with George Kambosos Jr and Michael ‘Venom’ Page respectively.
But Usyk will leave soon to begin training for his heavyweight title defence against Anthony Joshua which is set for June.
