American tennis ace Serena Williams was engaged in unusual recreational activities during the off-season of the 2019 year. The multi-talented tennis typhoon Williams was taking boxing lessons from Mike Tyson in December. She was hitting the punching bag in a similar fashion she slams the tennis ball on the court.

“I don’t want to get in the ring with this GOAT [greatest of all time] Serena Williams, much love and respect. Hitting the bag with Serena Williams. She has some power,” Tyson posted on Instagram.

A video of Serena and her mates got viral on Instagram. The troupe was spotted dancing, and the flexible Williams concluded the show with a split. Also, the tennis phenom Coco Gauff was also part of the dance.

The dance on Blackbear’s ‘Hot Girl Bummer’ was one of their training regimes at the Patrick Mouratoglou’s academy. 

“I don’t generally box. Sometimes I do. It depends on when. Some seasons I do, some seasons I don’t. It’s not great for my nails (smiling), literally,” Serena reflected.

“I always dance. I’m not the best dancer, but I love to dance. It’s nice and fun to do. It’s different and better than just going to the gym every day. At some point, you do have to go to the gym. I just try to do different things,” she added.

The same dance was mentioned during the Australian Open 2020. Jim Courier screened it on the Rod Laver Arena after Serena’s second-round victory.

“We wanted to bring fun to it! So we had a dance, we had tennis, we had boxing. We had all kinds of stuff and it was really a blast,” Williams said on the court.
