This American woman has also earned the nickname “The Tennessee Gangster” during her bareknuckle and MMA career.
But now she is stepping into boxing, for which she had been waiting for a long time.
Savage, 31, said, Fred talks about the fight“I always wanted to be a boxer, with gloves, not without gloves.
“It’s truly a dream come true to have what I call my first boxing match.
“I’ve given two exhibitions before. But I had to find them myself at the last minute under strange circumstances and I think this will be my first boxing trial.
“I’ve never worn 8-ounce gloves. I mean, I had 6-ounce gloves, MMA gloves but this will be my biggest fight to date and my first time wearing gloves like this.
“It’s not like bare-knuckle boxing, I believe it’s more akin to a confrontation, where in bare-knuckle boxing the cuts and things are more superficial, you can break your hand, as mine did.
“But I think I’m battle-tested because of the bare-knuckle boxing, I’m battle-tested because of my mixed martial arts background, and overall I’m completely immersed in boxing.

“Overall, I feel like this is going to be my night and I have no doubt about that.”

“And then I took a nap and I dreamed I was fighting Eli.

Savage has a teenage son, Cayden – whose father tragically committed suicide during the coronavirus pandemic.
And she uses his tragic passing as motivation to improve her life and that of her son, Cayden.
Savage said: “He lit a fire inside of me for my son — not in a malicious way because I was upset with him — but just so that he could be the strong person that my son needed.
“Because my son is just like his father; he is intelligent, free from misconceptions, a very beautiful human being and I believe we all have our own beauty which we should embrace.
“We always hope to have love for others, but at the end of the day, we are the ones who are alone in that ring, in that cage, on that mat in the gym most of the time.
