Athena Says Bianca Belair And Alicia Fox Are The Strongest People That She’s Been In The Ring With

Athena has high praise for two stars from two different generations.

While speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful for a new interview, the ‘Fallen Goddess’ was asked to name the strongest person that she has been in the ring with. In response, Athena gave a shoutout to both Bianca Belair and Alicia Fox.

“Other than me, ‘cause I feel like a lot of people say that about me because, like I said, I’m 5’1. Like I can lift a lot. There’s kind of two in my head and I feel like the first one isn’t going to shock anyone, Bianca Belair. Like we were both at the PC. We were just like competing, competing, competing and she beat me at like almost everything. Like I got her on like two events at the combine. Me and Bianca were so close. I think I ended up beating her in like one or two out of the 12. But it was Bianca, Bianca, Bianca, Bianca. I’m like, ‘No, Bianca, I’m going to get you in something.’ But she’s a phenomenal athlete, just phenomenal human being too. But I don’t think a lot of people know this about this woman, and it’s going to shock a lot of people, pound for pound, I think the strongest person—Alicia Fox. I don’t think people realize. She’s very petite, she’s very lean, but she’s so strong. Like pound for pound, I don’t think people would think that she could lift anything. I feel like I’ve seen her lift a truck before and I’m like, ‘How, Fox? How’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Athena recalled getting some advice from Booker T on her finisher. Check out her full comments on the matter by clicking here.
