Ex-tennis pin-up, Anna Kournikova, has taken up professional boxing and won her first bout at the Lavo venue in Las Vegas.
Her opponent, Sri Lankan champion Vicky Glassyersoonaslookatchaminger, initially took the lead in the first round, catching Kournikova unawares with a stunning right hook, but was unable to match her initial flurry, succumbing to the steady onslaught from Kournikova until finally forced to throw in the towel with six rounds remaining.
It was a masterly display from Kournikova, whose relative inexperience didn't stop her taking the fight to Glassyersoonaslookatchaminger, a veteran with nine championship bouts behind her. The victory sets up a match with the current WBO Champion Paula Molina and seals the deal on a number of lucrative photo shoots with all the major glossies.
