‘Miss Iron Tyson’: Angela Simmons Shocks Fans with Boxing Skills

“Growing Up Hip Hop” reality diva and fitness guru Angela Simmons “got hands,” fans are declaring. The mother of one put on quite a display of speed in a boxing workout video on June 18 while sporting black-and-blue gym attire and blue bandanna with her hair tied back. 

“Earlier with @candymanhardy 💪🏽 always learning new stuff #BnB #builtnotboughtauto,” Simmons captioned the video. 

The 32-year-old ducked her trainer Simmy’s shots and threw combos into his pads while training with Tupac’s “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” playing in the background. Fans of the We TV reality show star took to her comments section to profess astonishment about her technique.

“Get it, Ang🖤💪🏾🔥.”

“I see you Got Hands Beautiful Queen.”

“Throw them hands, Ang!!”

“Oh lord, she got hands.”

“THEY DON’T WANT IT WITH U WEAVE AND HAND GAME SICK, AND TO PAC, U TOO TOUGH.”

“I like how she hit that Floyd speed at the end.”

“Miss Iron Tyson.” 

Simmons also received boxing advice from one of her followers. 

“You’re stiff, move your hips. Don’t be afraid of getting hit. Maybe, this will help! As my Gwanganim would always say, [In a fighting situation..you will get hit], so once you get over that fact, then you can move more freely. It’s like a Dance…so you’ve got to move your hips!! Great job!! 😉✌.” 

The “GUHH” television personality is known for posting workout videos for her followers on the ’Gram.

Before her recent post, she admitted on June 17 that she hasn’t been posting many fitness videos lately due to the novel coronavirus that is affecting everyday lives nationwide. 

“Feels so good to be training with @candymanhardy !! Haven’t been posting much of my workouts lately, but I will start back !! Always grinding,” Simmons wrote. “Getting the safest workouts in during these times with no gym. #BnB #builtnotbought.”
