Boxing as a sport is highly demanding both physically and mentally. Meanwhile, boxing aficionados will be quick to agree that putting on boxing gloves and having a mitt session is a feeling unlike any other. This in turn has led to many notable names picking up the sport. The latest addition to this happens to be the English supermodel extraordinaire and actress, Naomi Campbell. And her performance quickly garnered praise from many notable names, including UFC legend, Conor McGregor.

Campbell, who was previously rumored to have dated Mike Tyson, is currently in the United Arab Emirates. Moreover, the 52-year-old supermodel was seen channeling her inner Mike Tyson at Umar Kamani’s fitness studio in Dubai. She donned boxing gloves and engaged in an exhilarating mitt session. Another interesting factor is that this session was supervised by the iconic Anthony ‘Chill’ Wilson. Notably, he is a Boxing Hall of Fame inductee. And has even trained former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, as seen from his post on Instagram.

Her performance went on to be commended by many notable names. The post also earned her the respect of the combat sports fraternity, with McGregor liking it as his mark of approval.
