Punching people in the face can wait. Right now, American judo star Kayla Harrison plans to devote her life to helping victims of sexual abuse as she heads into retirement.
The 26-year-old retained her Olympic crown on Thursday by beating French opponent Audrey Tcheumeo in the under-78kg final, winning by submission with an armlock.
Harrison later confirmed she had received offers from the lucrative world of mixed martial arts, where her friend and former sparring partner Ronda Rousey has become a multi-millionaire and one of the most famous athletes in America.
