Greek-born Australian and boxer, Antonia Kay, also has a career in music with her songs played over 300,000 times on Spotify.

Kay, who has also fought under her family name Konstantopoulou, defeated boxer Ebanie Bridges in the Australian Women Selection Tournament at Perth’s Rendezvous Hotel in July 2018. Kay went on to the finals of the competition, where she was defeated by Kristy Harris.

In 2017, a year before defeating Bridges in Perth, Kay started her music career, and she currently still trains and competes as a fighter.

Kay released two singles titled ‘Love Through The Telephone’ and ‘Shine and Play’. The musician released more tracks in 2020, with one track called the ‘Simple Life’, which has been listened too over 180,000 times.

The singer-boxer now has over 300,000 plays on Spotify.

Kay recently performed the National Anthem at the opening ceremony for the Australian Boxing Championships at the GC Grand Central, Dom Polski Centre, South Australia in November 2022. In an Instagram post she wrote, “It was my honour to perform and one of my best experiences!”

In 2019, Kay became the Australian National Champion. The former champion said in an Instagram post at the time, “I fought in memory of my father Georgios Konstantopoulos,” who passed away shortly before she started training for the tournament.

In a recent Facebook post, Kay announced she will be competing in the European Boxing Confederation (EUBC) Bocskai and Stranja tournaments as part of her preparation for Olympic selections mid to later this year.
