Olympic gold medalist decathlete Caitlyn Jenner will relinquish her hiatus from sporting activities and will lace up the boxing gloves on her next appearance. The news came as a shock to several of her followers. However, Jenner seems geared up to step through the ropes and trade haymakers with her opponent.

Jenner exclusively connected with the media and clarified of sighing a deal with Official Celebrity boxing which will host an event on June 11 in Charles Dodge Center in Pembroke Pines, Florida. She also advised the fans to stay tuned for more updates, as we can expect more celebrity appearances on the card.

Well, celebrity boxing has seen a prominent surge in recent years which has made the sport a bit vulnerable. It’s common to see Internet personalities and various other celebrities enter the boxing ring. It’s clearly bringing fresh attention to the boxing community. And Caitlyn Jenner’s in-ring stance can be a massive happening.

In a chat with Page Six.com, Jenner said, “I am so excited, but on the other hand, I’m always excited.” Appearing for the Dream Foundation, Caitlyn Jenner beat bodyguard Mark Bear in that event, which also showcased Kim Kardashian in the ring.

So, the Olympic medalist already has the experience of fighting in a boxing ring. However, the upcoming event will be her first as an organizer. While Caitlyn Jenner will also fire punches in the ring, she might be in for some serious action, as a boxer and an organizer.

Can Caitlyn Jenner gain some knowledge from her previous appearances?

It’s still unclear who will welcome 72-year-old Caitlyn Jenner as her opponent in the boxing ring. It has been more than a decade since her last in-ring outing. In that fight, Jenner came across some tough boxing punishments. But she displayed her great resilience.

Recalling it, she said, “It was absolutely insane [but] at the end of the day, we did this for charity and that’s what counts.”

Amid all the confidence, she can’t rule out the fact of boxing being a demanding sport. Therefore, Jenner may want to give second thoughts before getting inside the ring. Albeit, it is commendable that she is all set to take the ring by breaking the stereotypes of the age bar.
