Reis, 35, is 19-7-1 as a professional boxer. Her last fight was this past November. She defeated Jessica Cameron in a split decision. The match was for the IBO and WBA super lightweight titles, which she’s held since 2020, as well as for the vacant WBO super lightweight title.

She has also recently finished shooting the movie “Black Flies” with Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan, according to Deadline.
