Hailey Clauson gets cozy with the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy

Kelsey Hendrix | May 18, 2015

SI Swimsuit rookie Hailey Clauson is known by most as a self-proclaimed basketball fan and lover of all things California. So it's no surprise that when we were able to get her and the infamous NBA Larry O'Brien Trophy in the same room, our girl was all about capturing the special moment and boasting her support for the Golden State Warriors.

​
In studio for an interview with SI NOW, Hailey opened up about how her career has changed since becoming an SI Swimsuit model and even dished on her newest workout regimen with boyfriend and fellow model Jullien Herrera.

It would seem that one could find Hailey most mornings, in the ring perfecting her skills with her beau (and protecting her money maker!) at Overthrow, which touts itself as the "Home of Underground Boxing" in NYC. 

Watch the video above to hear all about Hailey's early career as a model, her transition to Swimsuit and editorial work, and her new passion for boxing!
