Sally Ridge tried to stop her daughter Jaime from agreeing to a high profile boxing match against reality star Rosanna Arkle from The GC.
Jaime is in training to take take on Arkle in three two-minute rounds - possibly with both contestants wearing bikinis - on the undercard of the
Godfather of Fight Nights in Auckland on July 5.
But the 18-year-old tells this week's edition of New Idea her mother isn't happy about the match and tried to stop her from taking it on.
"Obviously her first reaction was, 'I don't want you to do it.' But mum's always said to me, 'You need to do what you want to do and I will support you'."
Jaime also admitted she's had "a few breakdowns" while trying to fit her boxing training sessions with league star Monty Betham into her schedule.
