Gossip Queen: Three finalists in the Miss Universe Australia pageant will face off in the boxing ring
BEAUTY packs a punch.
They have slipped off their sashes, put away their bikinis and gowns, and parked the pleas for world peace, and now three national finalists in the Miss Universe Australia pageant are preparing to face off in the boxing ring.
Marijana Radmanovic, Darcy Spinks and Cassie Wainwright, who represented Victoria in the beauty queen quest, have signed up for the Royal Queensbury charity boxing tournament to raise funds for ToyBox International.
Radmanovic said she had been inspired by fellow modelJesinta Campbell.
“Jesinta does a lot of boxing training and she is so strong and fit,”
Radmanovic, second runner-up behind Caris Tiivelin the Miss Universe Australia final, said.
“I have never hit anyone in my life and I am definitely out of my comfort zone. With Miss Universe, you are all glamorous and elegant.
“With this, you could end up with a bloody nose or worse.”
Radmanovic said despite the commonly held theory that beauty quests often involved catty behaviour between contestants, nothing could be further from the truth for her, Spinks and Wainwright.
“We spent four months together during the Miss Universe lead-up and we are really great friends. It is scary to think we might end up in the ring throwing punches at each other,” she said.
Win, lose or draw, Radmanovic said: “I figure after 10 weeks of intense training, whatever happens on the night, I’ll at least have a pretty amazing body for summer.”
The Royal Queensbury tournament has been running in Perth for nine years and will make its Melbourne debut at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on November 25.
Twenty people with no experience undergo 10 weeks of intensive training before fight night.
The night is sanctioned by Boxing Australia and all fighters will have an official win/loss record after the event.
