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.

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.
