More than a decade ago, Kim Kardashian who is famous for her reality TV fame and business investments went into the boxing ring surprising many people. This competition aimed to be a glamorous one but later ended up as part of her life’s history that she will never forget.

Kim Kardashian was battling Tamara Frapasella, an experienced fighter with a height of 1.73 meters. Therefore, from the beginning on, Kim had a distinct height disadvantage because she measured only 1.57 meters tall. Taking advantage of her long arms, Frapasella made several jabs that overwhelmed Kim. However much training and effort Kim had put in place before the fight it was clear that early on Frapasella was clearly in charge.

Nevertheless, there was more than just fighting during this event itself which involved charity purposes mainly. Although it appeared to be an uneven match, it succeeded in its most important goal which was raising money for charity. It managed to raise $11,000 through various causes supported by the charitable organization.The game also attracted attention from both sports and entertainment communities showing how celebrities merge with philanthropy through this kind of blending within these two industries.

Notably, Kim’s match was not the only thing that happened that evening. Before Kim’s fight, her brother Rob Kardashian also had a boxing match. Rob fought against an opponent who was said to be a professional boxer and outweighed him by 35 lbs. Therefore, due to the great difference in weights and experience of his competitor, it became quite challenging for Rob to wrestle him. During the bout, Rob sustained a concussion which necessitated his medical evacuation to hospital. Fortunately, Rob did not get any serious injuries with long term implications; however, this occurrence made the whole Kardashian family become realistic.

Kim Kardashian was greatly affected by events of that night. Having lost and watched her sibling undergo such a difficult situation Kim decided to quit participating in any other boxing contests anymore because after losses such as these ones she never appeared at any more public events related to boxing.

Since then celebrity boxing has increased in popularity since that charity boxing event took place. Celebrity Boxing is now popular with high-profile matches like Logan Paul’s fight with Floyd Mayweather or Jake Paul’s bout with Hasim Rahman Jr., indicating that it can draw immense attention from the public and generate huge sums of money as well.

In spite of the rising trend, it is doubtful that Kim Kardashian will ever be a boxer. Her exit from boxing was consistent with her shift towards business and other types of entertainment. However, since the Kardashians are always good at making dramatic scenes and they have business minds, it would not be shocking if they found a way to get back into boxing maybe in other ways though.

Kim Kardashian’s foray into boxing was quite an affair combining celebrity flair with charitable goals. Though, she lost the fight; this occasion helped raise significant funds for important cause and would continue to hold its own on a landscape of evolving celebrity sport and entertainment.
