Adult star turned influencer boxer Tina Snows says her looks and background as a model have prevented her from being taken seriously as a professional athlete

Tina Snows has been boxing for seven months and is aiming to stick to the sweet science for years to come

An influencer boxer says people don’t take her seriously – because of her natural beauty.

Tina Snows has a background as an adult star and she said she has been “dehumanised” for trying something new.

The content creator has been boxing for the past year and won her first fight in June by second round stoppage.

The Dubliner, 26, has just as much confidence as Jake Paul and she also expressed her desire to one day compete in the Olympics.

But in an exclusive interview with the Daily Star, the former Misfits ring girl said: “Because I do OnlyFans people don’t take me seriously in boxing.

“I became really popular online by being 𝑠e𝑥y but now that I’m venturing into other projects people still fail to see me as an actual human. They see me as a 𝑠e𝑥 object and people put me down because I’m hot and successful.”

Tina, who has already won two influencer boxing belts, was supposed to be fighting for a third in Singapore this month but her opponent dropped out in recent days.

And rather than just being judged by trolls online for her racy modelling, she said she has also been discriminated against by boxing coaches in real life.

She explained: “Sometimes if coaches find out what you do, perspective changes and they view you differently.

“I remember there was one boxing gym I went to and they were looking me up and down saying was I sure I doing the right thing. They don’t think I am actually going after something big.”

However, she conceded: “I am a victim of it because I have been the one to 𝑠e𝑥ualise myself but it is a shame when I am trying to do something different.”

Tina, who has 50,000 Instagram followers, said winning her last fight against fellow OnlyFans model Meghan O’Neil earned her more respect from the boxing community.

But she said it was “f***ed up” that it took having the bravery to get inside the ring to win over people’s approval.

She concluded: “I can do other things that is not shaking ass… I can shake ass and throw a punch. I hope to fight on Misfits one day and maybe even try the Olympics.”
