Olympic legend Jade Jones burst onto the boxing scene, defeating Egypt Criss, the daughter of hip-hop icons Treach and Pepa, with a second-round knockout.
Olympic champion Jade Jones beats Treach and Pepa’s daughter in boxing debut
Jade Jones walked into the ring with a past Olympic gold medal and the daughter of Pepa & Treach standing across from her, resulting in a second round knockout that immediately got people talking.
The two-time Olympic kickboxing champion made her long-awaited debut in the boxing derby and wasted no time introducing herself. Jones has been dominating on kickboxing mats around the world, but he also knows his new calling. She wants to be a world champion in two sports. And there was a person standing in front of her goal.
Standing opposite her was Egypt Chris, with legend flowing in her blood. She is the daughter of Anthony “Treach” Criss of Naughty By Nature and Sandra “Pepa” Denton of Salt-N-Pepa. So yeah, expectations are high
But once the bell rings, the rap stops being so important.

Jones is 32 years old, but she displays the composure of an Olympic star. The Flint native methodically closed the distance and landed clean shots before knocking Chris to the ground with three consecutive sharp left hooks. Too ugly. Pepa was on the sidelines and this was highlighted by the cameras. However, they did not show her when the knockout occurred.
This may be an arrangement.
Jones didn’t get into boxing randomly. She has been training seriously at the 4 Corners gym in Liverpool with former professional boxer Stephen “Swift” Smith. This place produces disciplined warriors. Not much is known about Egypt, but I predict she will win.

We have been following Egypt for some time. At one point, she rapped loudly. Even collaborated on a song with Treach.
For Jones, this debut was more than just a test of the waters. She’s ready to compete, not just play.
Can the Olympic kickboxing legend really break into boxing and chase another world title? We’re about to find out.
