Murderous boxer Deirdre Jackson
Deirdre Jackson (Alex Borstein) is the main villainess of "Baby, You Knock Me Out", episode 9.05 of Family Guy (airdate November 14, 2010). A notoriously ruthless boxer, Deirdre was known for killing three boxers in the ring and was considered so dangerous that she wasn't allowed to be a lesbian.
When amateur boxer and protagonist Lois Griffin prepared to retire from the sport and was having a statue dedicated to her in the town square, Deirdre walked out from the crowd and accused Lois of retiring out of fear of her. Lois initially refused Deirdre's desire to have a fight, but when Deirdre responded by sexually tormenting and humiliating Lois' husband Peter, Lois angrily agreed to the fight.
In an interview with Tom Tucker before the fight, the evil Deirdre declared that she would kill Lois during the 6th round of their match. Despite Peter's pleas to her, Lois didn't back out of the fight. For the first portion of the fight, Deirdre dominated the fight, mercilessly beating Lois. When Lois fell to the ground, Deirdre warned her that she would die if she didn't stay on the ground and lose the match. But instead, the invigorated Lois got up and started to fight back, eventually earning the upper hand. The fight ended when Lois knocked Deirdre out, winning the fight.
