Is Sister Mary ready to go pro? Eddie Hearn called up

As Sister Mary’s shadow boxing video punches its way through social media, the reactions from fans are as spirited as her jabs. First up, we have a fan who playfully ties in a biblical flavor, suggesting that even the Lord might advise to “stick and move” in the face of adversity. It’s a humorous nod to combining faith with physical agility, and it certainly adds a divine touch to the boxing display.

Then there’s another fan, who imagines Sister Mary as the star of her own summer blockbuster. In his view, any would-be thieves targeting the church would leave with more than they bargained for—a concussion, courtesy of Sister Mary’s left hook, which he dubs “the left hook of the Lord.” It’s an epic envisioning of faith meeting might in a cinematic showdown set for a July 4th release.

This person seems personally inspired by the nun’s skills. She jokes about training in her room to combat evil, mirroring Sister Mary’s determination and discipline.

This fan keeps it short and sweet, branding Sister Mary as a “holy warrior.” This title captures the essence of the nun’s dual display of devoutness and dexterity.
