It brought me out of everything I was going through. Even basic things like eating three meals a day \u2014 I learned how to do that. I found strength in my body that I never knew I had. I saw things in my body \u2026 I had a six pack at one point \u2014 never in my life did I think I was gonna ave a six pack.

With her professional Muay Thai debut coming by way of third round TKO earlier this year, Kang is pairing her new passion for fighting with her modeling career as she has gotten support from Sports Illustrated on her new endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two things coupled together,\u201d she said, \u201creally gave me the confidence to come back to New York and come back to the fashion industry and the modeling world \u2014 the entertainment industry \u2014 and say, \u2018I\u2019m not gonna conform to your standards anymore. I\u2019m not gonna starve myself and be insecure about myself because I\u2019m trying to fit into a size zero pair of jeans. I\u2019m not going to do that anymore.\u2019 I found health, confidence, happiness through this sport, through everything. This is who I am. This is the kind of woman we need in our magazines. This is the kind of role model we need for our kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been that 14-year-old girl who\u2019s looking through magazines, going, \u2018Why don\u2019t I look like that? Why am I not that skinny?\u2019 No. Something needs to change. Really, Muay Thai has done more for me than people know. People look at me and they think, just another model posing in those gloves.
