WTA legend Martina Navratilova‘s two-time stint with cancer is nothing less than an inspiring journey through a gruesome crisis. During this time, Navratilova was surrounded by her friends, family, and loved ones who made sure that she got the care she needed. However, of all these well-wishers, Navratilova’s biggest support was undoubtedly her wife and former Miss USSR Julia Lemigova.

Lemigova has been committed to the betterment of Navratilova wholeheartedly. Now, after her spouse is fully cured of cancer, she is looking to re-engage in her passions. After her recent post announcing her comeback into the spotlight with a restart of her modeling career, a few hours ago Lemigova amused her fans with another exciting update on her life.

Martina Navratilova isn’t the only sports enthusiast in the family it seems!

Turns out, the Russian model is now into boxing. After making the revelation a while back on how she turned to boxing during Martina’s illness to literally “punch” away the stress, Lemigova is now seen returning to her passion. What’s more, her power-packed punches seem to really throw off her opponent- who is none other than a pro-MMA fighter himself.
