Reality TV star Rosanna Arkle reckons she can knock out glamour girl Jaime Ridge when they meet in the ring in July.
Arkle, from TV3's show The GC, has been training to take on Ridge in the undercard match at the Godfather of Fight Nights, featuring a bout between Shane Cameron and Monte Barrett, on July 5.
Arkle kept up with her bikini-clad image when she spoke to media in Auckland's Sky City this morning after flying in yesterday.
"I just did this for the challenge. I think I'll knock her out and then get some KFC,'' Arkle said.
Ridge said she was inspired to get in the ring by Hayley Holt and Paige Hareb, who competed in last year's Fight for Life.
"I found it really inspiring what Hayley and Paige did to be honest with you, and it's a challenge.
"I'm all about stretching my boundaries and doing new things so it'll be good, yeah.''
Ridge, the daughter of former Kiwis captain and All Black Matthew Ridge, has been training for a week with former Warrior Monty Betham.
Betham said she had some of her father's traits.
"(Matthew Ridge is) a guy who had mental toughness and the ability to push pain barriers and so on. I've been very impressed with the first week of training''
