Miss Swimsuit winner turned boxer Avril Mathie has left her fans hailing the ‘view’ after attempting headstands – with mixed success.
The bikini-loving fighter posted a video on her Instagram feed of her trying to complete the feat, which led to her falling on her back at one stage. She wrote: “Try, try, try again and become obsessed with succeeding until you do.”
Nevertheless, her near-300,000 followers on Insta were impressed with her efforts, and especially the views they were afforded during the clips. One fan declared: “What a sight for sore eyes!”

Another offered some sound advice, saying: “Try to narrow your elbows, it’ll be more easier and comfortable, dear.”
A third, alluding to Mathie’s sizeable assets, quipped: “Silicone tends to prevent the correct balance.” But a fourth encouraged: “You've got this! Heck of a house back there too.”

The 2014 Miss Swimsuit winner is trying to make a name for herself in the boxing world and has even declared her interest in one day fighting IBF World Bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges.
However, after amassing an impressive run of six victories in a row, Mathie’s momentum was hit in February when she suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Ramla Ali at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
The time for talking is almost over as KSI and Tommy Fury will bury their rivarly once and for all as they face off in Manchester on Saturday, October 14th. Logan Paul will also be fighting at the event in front of what is expected to be a sell-out crowd.

Undeterred by that disappointment, she is still finding new ways to get her training in. Last month, she uploaded a picture of herself alongside sparring partner and fitness model Alysia Magen at her boxing gym. Mathie wore a black sports bra and shorts, while Magen donned a risque khaki green bra with matching shorts that were both borderline see-through.
“Got a few fun rounds sparring in the sauna this morning,” Mathie wrote alongside her post. The Australian currently boasts an 8-1-1 record in the squared circle.
