Halle Berry said,” I have been a boxing fan my entire life. When I was a kid I was a latchkey kid and what I had in front of me was the television and boxing. And my dad left the family early so my images of manhood and what it was to be a man were Muhammad Ali, and Frazier, and Fearns, and Hagler, and Sugar Ray Leonard. Like these were fantasies of what a father would be for me right.”
“I fell in love with the sport and it was my favorite pastime as a child. So around I don’t know 2001 I don’t have my facts right but I remember seeing Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche…when I saw these women being treated as men would be treated within the sport. It was a big huge fight. It was publicized, it was UFC. And I fell in love in that moment, I fell in love with women MMA fighters in that moment,” she added.
