Beauty queen and former Australian boxer Avril Mathie has delivered a sharp retort after facing online trolling for her decision to remove her breast implants. The 38-year-old athlete and model recently took to Instagram to share that she has "fallen in love with her natural body," but the post sparked a wave of negative comments from some followers.
Harsh Criticism and Witty Comebacks
In response to Mathie's heartfelt declaration, one critic sarcastically asked, "Where did you leave your boobs? In the parking lot?" Another bluntly remarked, "I think you look 12... because only a 12-year-old would have a chest that flat. Flatter than the earth." Mathie, unfazed, replied with, "Perfect, exactly the look I was going for." When a third user posted, "Flat as a board, who would date you?" she fired back, "Thank God not you haha."
Boxing Career and Surgical Decision
Sydney-born Mathie began boxing in 2012, accumulating 20 amateur fights before turning professional in December 2017. She underwent the procedure to remove her implants in late 2023, and soon noticed a significant improvement in her boxing technique. On her YouTube channel, she explained, "For the first time ever in my boxing life, my forearms can actually defend both my chin and body simultaneously... now I will be able to throw straight punches longer and faster now that the implants are not in the way forcing my elbows out." She added optimistically, "Give me a few weeks and my boxing is about to be tight."
Retirement and Past Insecurities
Daily Mail reports indicate that Mathie is now inactive in the ring, having retired from professional boxing with an impressive record of 8 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, including three knockout victories. She revealed that she initially got breast implants at age 19 due to body insecurities. Her highly anticipated IBF bantamweight title fight against fellow Australian Ebanie Bridges, scheduled for December 2023 in San Francisco, was cancelled after Mathie withdrew due to an injury.
Beauty Pageant Achievements
Beyond the boxing ring, Mathie has a notable history in beauty pageants. She won the Miss Swimsuit USA International crown in 2014 and also secured victory in the Las Vegas International Model Search in December 2015. Her dual success in sports and modeling highlights her diverse talents and resilience in the face of public scrutiny.
