Rosanna v Jaime: The claws are out
It’s the battle of the bikinis when Rosanna Arkle and Jaime Ridge go head-to-head at the KFC Godfather of Fight Nights in Auckland on July 5.
Who will hit the deck first: the cast member of arguably the worst show in the history of New Zealand television or the one-month-wonder ex-girlfriend of All Blacks’ calendar boy Sonny Bill Williams?
We will find out when Rosanna Arkle and Jaime Ridge go head-to-head at the KFC Godfather of Fight Nights in Auckland on July 5.
The fight will act as the curtain raiser for the heavily anticipated bout between Monte Barrett and Shane Cameron.
A more important question would be, who cares?
However, the media are eating up this D-lister boxing bout like a roast mutton fresh out of the oven.
Kick boxing instructor Rachel Dombroski said: “It’s great to see amateurs out there giving boxing a go. But it’s unfortunate that it’s being represented by two girls that barely look like they have the strength to hold their arms up in stance for photographs.”
Both competitors’ blossoming modelling careers could be temporarily compromised by a good right hook in the boxing ring.
The daughter of former All Black Matthew Ridge told the media she was slightly worried about being punched in the face.
She is in safe hands, training under the watchful eye of ex-Warrior and current boxer Monty Betham.
The girl-on-girl action has most likely caught the attention of the male population, with Rosanna promising to sport a bikini during the three two-minute rounds.
Hamilton boxer Cairo George said: “I wouldn’t mind seeing girls fight in bikinis. Certainly makes it easier to watch. I think it’s great that they’re putting themselves out there.”
The socialites met for the first time at a press conference yesterday where Arkle said she had never heard of Ridge before the fight.
The same could be said for the bikini enthusiast, before her appearance on the ‘unscripted’ show The GC.
The twitter-verse was buzzing with the news of the fight sending #Rosie and #JaimeRidge to the top 10 NZ trending list.
The fight is said to be part of Jaime’s plea to have her own reality TV show modelled around Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Why anyone would want to model anything after the most annoying siblings in America is beyond this writer.
If you don’t think you can stomach the amateur boxing, hang about for the battle between heavyweights Shane Cameron and Monte Barrett.
