Knox Jolie-Pitt’s high school graduation didn’t slow him down for even a moment.
On Friday. the 17-year-old son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt graduated high school. and his weekend energy was still very much in motion. In a clip from the ceremony, Knox turned to the attendees and announced he would be fighting later that night. “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!”.
The martial arts plan came with its own soundtrack: Total Sonic Knockout. described on its social media pages. is a rave and combat experience in El Lay. Knox’s timing—right after graduation—meant there was little room for sentimentality. and there was also the obvious question of how the moment landed with his mom.
Angelina Jolie was spotted in the audience taking pictures during the graduation clip. and later that same weekend she showed up for the fight. She was seen at Catwalk DTLA alongside Knox’s twin, Vivienne, supporting Knox as he entered the ring. He came down in boxing gloves, turning the whole night into something closer to Fight Club than family celebration.
Knox competed in a Muay Thai match, and by the end of the night he walked away with a win over his opponent.
For a graduation day that started with an announcement and ended with a victory, it was the kind of finale Knox clearly seemed to want—family in the crowd, gloves on, and no hesitation about stepping into the ring.
