Overview
- Knox Jolie-Pitt celebrated his high school graduation and told the crowd he had a fight later that night before swapping his cap and gown for fight gear hours later.
- Video obtained and reported by entertainment outlets shows the 17-year-old exchanging punches and kicks in a Downtown Los Angeles Muay Thai exhibition.
- During his graduation speech Knox used profanity on stage when announcing that he would be competing that night, a moment captured and shared widely online.
- Angelina Jolie and Knox’s twin sister, Vivienne, were photographed supporting him at the ceremony and ringside, while reports say Brad Pitt was not present.
- Knox has trained in Muay Thai previously and won a Los Angeles competition last year, and outlets place these public moments inside a longer, high-profile family rift that has driven media attention.
