As she finished unwrapping the packaging, she said with excitement, “It’s so freakin cute.” Once the paintings were completely out of the box, she displayed the paintings for the followers to get a good look at. While doing so, the boxer could not hide her happiness and asked, “How beautiful is that?”

With glee smeared all over her face, she dove into the various intricate details in the painting. She especially appreciated the painting with her title belts.
