In 2009, Kardashian laced up the boxing gloves for a charity boxing event that went by ‘The Kardashian Charity Knockout’. Moreover, this event took place at the Commerce Casino with a substantial amount of guests.
The structure of this event was budding boxers will bid to face Kardashian family members, in order to raise funds for Dream Foundation.
The bigwig media personality had no prior experience in boxing. Consequently, no one expected her to come out as a pro-boxer and grab everyone’s attention. That said, Kardashian tried her best, but she received some power-packed blows from her opponent, Tamara.
Her family members were present in the arena and they seemed worried after seeing Kardashian enduring some powerful shots. The 41-year-old, despite the hammerings, kept fighting. But that just wasn’t enough for her to remain on the winning side. Also, this was a charity event and not a pro-boxing bout.
That said, the sole aim of this event was to mint enough money for a social cause.
