Wuxi China Expatdom Queen Ayira the Chosen One beat U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama yesterday to win the World First Ladies Boxing Championship.
Ayira came out in her usual aggressive style, immediately putting Obama on the back foot. With just over a minute gone, Ayira dropped Obama with a right hand to the body - the second time for the former light-heavyweight first lady champion had been down in her career (first time was against Barbara Bush in 2009). Obama got up but was caught with another big right, this time on the chin, and counted out after one minute 31 seconds of the first round.
Ayira earned 30 million USD for her victory. The most ever for a female boxer.
The fight, at the Rose Bowl in Pasedena, California, attracted world-wide attention.
