After a TKO victory in Misfits boxing, Leah Gotti may be looking at taking up MMA next. She defeated model and ring girl Amber Fields by TKO and was unimpressed with the challenge. With boxing experience, plus her collegiate wrestling background, Gotti could be a great fit for MMA.

Leah Gotti in MMA

After her debut victory in boxing, Leah Gotti sat down for an interview with LowKickMMA’s Tim Wheaton on MMA After Dark. Gotti is a lifetime athlete. In college, she competed in football and softball but was a standout in wrestling. In preparation for her boxing match, she moved to Colorado to dedicate herself to training. Whatever she does, she commits herself fully to it. Right now, she is training for a half-marathon.

In an interview, Leah Gotti explained:

They kept asking me questions like, ‘How do you feel about her experience in the combat world?’ The thing is, she has no real experience in combat sports—she’s been a ring girl, and that’s not the same. I’ve wrestled and fought my whole life, and that is real experience in combat sports.”

She continued and explained that whatever she does next, it will be taken with the utmost gravity:

“A lot of different fight promotions have been asking if I’d be interested in fighting. I’m open to trying a different style of fighting if the opportunity arises, but they need to give me time to train properly. I’m not going to just say, ‘Yeah, I’ll take an MMA fight right now.’ No, I need to get back in the gym and practice the basics—single legs, double legs, and all that. I need to get my fundamentals right.

“Training for one sport is one thing, but when you’re competing at this level, you have to be on point. I’ve always been good at learning different mechanics in sports because I’ve played multiple sports, but this level of competition requires meticulous preparation.”

She concluded by saying:

“You need to be able to tap into your anger and aggression. At the beginning of my boxing and wrestling training, I was often timid. It usually took someone slamming me or hitting me hard enough to bring out that aggression. Being able to channel that intensity is crucial for success.”

Exclusive: Leah Gotti Unimpressed with Amber Fields’ Weak Punches: “Is she joking?”

Just this past week, Leah Gotti took out Amber Fields, defeating her opponent in an impressive TKO victory. However, one thing that shocked the model and influencer Gotti was how weak her opponent hit.

Leah Gotti vs. Amber Fields

In Misfits Boxing, performer Leah Gotti was booked to take on model Amber Fields in a boxing match with 16 oz gloves. Gotti does not do anything halfway. She committed herself to boxing and trained with serious intent. She moved her life to Colorado to have a dedicated training camp in preparation for this fight.

Additionally, Leah Gotti is no stranger to hard work in athletics. In college, she received a scholarship in wrestling. Plus, she was competitive in both softball and football. In addition to her boxing fight, she is currently preparing for a half marathon.

Leah Gotti was disappointed when she stepped in the ring against Amber Fields as she was ready for war. Speaking with LowKickMMA’s Tim Wheaton on MMA After Dark, Leah Gotti explained:

“I trained so hard. I took this seriously for it to turn out to be the worst sparring match I’ve ever had. I was sparring with girls who are actual fighters, so they weren’t treating me like a princess. They’re f*ing me up. They were really giving it to me—bloody noses, black eyes, and punches that had me falling to the ground, feeling like I was dying, especially in the stomach. They weren’t just shoulder-checking me or light sparring; they were really going at it.”

Then, when she faced Amber Fields:

“When she hit me in the first round, I was like, ‘Is this for real right now? Is she joking?’ She hit me so lightly that I don’t even have to block this. I could just throw punches wildly if I wanted to because this isn’t going to hurt me; this isn’t going to cause any real damage.’”

“When I finished the fight, I wasn’t even really sweating it. I was like, ‘Damn, this just feels like I trained so hard.’ That’s what it felt like.”

Leah Gotti was victorious with a TKO in her Misfits Boxing debut. Now, she is speaking with various organizations to book her next fight which could be in boxing or MMA. See the full interview below:

When Ric Flair Tried to Out-Smoke Mike Tyson: “I didn’t even know where I was”

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair once made the mistake of trying to out-smoke ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

After establishing themselves as two of the absolute best in their respective fields, Tyson and Flair took a similar path in their twilight years, choosing to promote their own lines of cannabis-based products appropriately named Tyson 2.0 and Ric Flair Drip.

Tyson and the “stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun” have acted as spokesmen for their brands over the years while often teaming up to support the decriminalization of marijuana and to discuss how cannabis has helped them in various aspects of their life.

Recently, Tyson appeared via video call at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Hollywood alongside the legendary wrestler. During their time together, Tyson and Flair shared anecdotes about their use of marijuana which eventually led to a debate over who could smoke more between the two.

Hilariously, Flair quickly declared Tyson the winner while revealing that the two had engaged in a friendly contest some time back that didn’t exactly go his way.

“I said ‘You know what, Mike, I’m going to show you that I can smoke as much as you.’ At four o’clock in the morning, I didn’t even know where I was,” Flair said. “Literally, he puts Ric Flair to bed with his cannabis” (h/t Marca).

Mike Tyson returns to the ring on November 15

While the 75-year-old Flair has put his professional wrestling career to bed (we hope), Mike Tyson is preparing for a return to the boxing ring for his first professional bout in nearly two decades.

On Friday, November 15, ‘Iron’ will lace up the gloves inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for a clash with ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul.

The fight will air on Netflix, making it the first live combat sports broadcast for the streaming giant since the subscription-based service went live on January 16, 2007.

Paul, who will be 31 years younger than Tyson come fight night, carries with him a 10-1 record including seven wins by way of knockout. His only loss came against Tommy Fury via split decision in February 2023. Tyson’s last pro fight was on June 11, 2005, against Kevin McBride. Shortly after, Tyson hung up his gloves for good.

‘Iron’ went 50-6 with 44 KOs and 2 no-contests over the course of his 20-year career.
