Crossover bouts have been the talk of the town in the realm of combat sports. But notice that usually, it is the MMA combatant that ventures into boxing. However, there are certain outliers and one of them is Mia St. John. The former lightweight boxing champion who competed in MMA back in 2008. She made her professional debut and won via a knockout in the first round. Needless to say, she lives up to her nickname, ‘Knockout.’

In an interview with the ES fan cast, she revealed to Noah Lack, “I did watch The Matrix, but I fell in love with Keanu years before when he did his very first movie called River’s Edge. That’s the movie that really stands out for me cause that is when I first saw him and just fell head over heels for him. Little did I know as a young teenager that one day I would be going on vacation with Keanu Reeves. Like I would have said no fr*ckin way.”

I am a boxing author at EssentiallySports. My love for the 'Sweet Science’, came about after Conor McGregor crossed sports and ventured into boxing to face Floyd Mayweather. Apart from the nitty-gritty of the sport, I am equally captivated and entertained by off-the-ring rivalry and incidental shenanigans.
