Knox drops F‑bomb in graduation speech before Muay Thai exhibition

Knox didn’t censor his excitement during his high school graduation, telling the crowd, “Tonight, I’m gonna be fighting at Total Sonic Knockout 5 at 12:45 a.m., so catch me. I’m gonna knock ‘em the f—k out. Let’s go!” The remark drew cheers and came hours before his Muay Thai bout.

Video showed the 17-year-old stepping into the ring at an exhibition fight at a Downtown Los Angeles club, kicking his opponent while taking a couple of hits and landing several blows of his own. He won the IKF Point Muay Thai Technical event. Angelina Jolie and Knox’s twin sister, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, were in the crowd keeping a low profile and supporting him.

Jolie has long backed his interests; last June she cheered him before he took home a gold medal in a martial arts competition ahead of his birthday. Knox and his siblings have kept their distance from their father and have dropped “Pitt” from their last name.
