Alexia Grace, the popular network model from England, tries to kiss her opponent before the fight / from Alexia's official account
It's not clear how awkward the moment really was, and what the real intention was behind the move, but Alexia Grace, the popular model from England, tried to kiss her opponent during their weigh-in before their boxing match - and was publicly rejected.
Grace - who is known in England as "the hottest fan of Aston Villa" - faced the American Nikki Herro yesterday (Saturday) in Nashville, Tennessee, in the "Misfits boxing" boxing competition.

The warm-up before her previous fight

Alexia, who claims she's in "crazy shape" for the fight, walked up to her opponent and tried to kiss her - but Haru showed her quick reflexes as she pulled back and dodged the attempt.
This only created trash talk between the two, after which Grace promised to win "to bring the belt back to England".
As expected, many of the surfers and commenters mocked the "rejection", and wondered if Haru would use her reflexes and become the second woman to beat Grace in the ring, which indeed happened later and led to further humiliation for the former fan, who was convinced she won and celebrated before being informed that she actually lost.
