An NBA WAG is making her return to the ring this weekend.
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will be fighting on Friday to vie for the undisputed super lightweight championship.
And Kourtney Hartenstein - the wife of Thunder star Isaiah - will be a ring girl for the highly-anticipated fight after an absence of a couple of years.
'I'm back,' she told TMZ. 'And I'm excited about it. It's been a while.'
The model, whose last ring girl gig was seemingly for an August 2023 Professional Fighters League card, took a break from those responsibilities while she was pregnant with her and Hartenstein's son, Elijah.
Now, however, she's stepping back in the ring for the Taylor-Serrano fight at Madison Square Garden.

Ahead of the fight, Kourtney posted a smiling selfie of herself from the weigh-in to her Instagram story, urging fans to tune into the fight on Netflix.
Kourtney also told TMZ that her husband will be in attendance to watch her in his old arena, where he played for the Knicks from 2022-24.
Ahead of last season, he signed a massive three-year, $87million deal to join the Thunder, and went on to win the NBA Finals with his new team in June.
Kourtney was a fixture at OKC's games during the postseason, and could be seen taking in the team's championship parade after in heartwarming video with her husband.
Their son, Elijah, also went viral after the decisive Game 7 win over the Pacers as he fell asleep in his dad's arms on the championship podium.
Hartenstein averaged 5.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and nearly a steal per game in the Finals.
He'll enter his eighth NBA season in the fall.
