Bellator’s Julia Budd feeling inspired after ‘powerful’ experience at anti-racism rally

After suffering her first loss since 2011, former Bellator featherweight champion Julia Budd is looking to return to winning ways at Bellator 244 next weekend when she takes on Jessy Miele. Heading into this fight, Budd told The Province, that she is feeling inspired and motivated by events that have taken place far outside the cage.

In an interview with Steve Ewan, ‘Jewel’ went into detail regarding a recent anti-racism rally she organized with her husband and step-son, both of whom are Black. The rally took place in Sechelt on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast in June.
