We all get a little nostalgic when we run into something which sends us back to the past. Something similar happened with Mia St. John when she found an old Playboy magazine with her on the cover in the antique section. St. John debuted in boxing after signing a contract with Don King in 1997. From there, she went on to become a 5-time world champion loved and adored by fans.

Mia St. John was affectionately known as “The Knockout,” a nickname that cleverly highlighted both her striking beauty and her impressive skills inside the boxing ring. Her amiable nature and genuine passion for the sport have earned her a special place in the hearts of many. This is evident in her latest post.

Fans flood Mia St. John’s post with wholesome comments

Strolling through an antique store, Mia St. John found the Playboy magazine she had once modeled for wearing red shorts and matching boxing gloves. This incident reminded her of her youthful days, and made her realize they were long gone. Fans came to her rescue and filled the comments section with uplifting compliments to cheer up the champ. She captioned the post on X, “While touring Sonoma I found my playboy for sale in an “antique’ store! Omg that’s when you know you have gotten old.” 

 “Old ? Never ! We don’t call wine old, we call it fine” One fan compared her with wine, implying that age will only make her finer.
