Jennifer Lopez, who is known for having a determined and fierce attitude that has helped her become one of the most successful women in showbiz, posed completely nude with nothing but a pair of boxing gloves to protect her modesty for V magazine’s new Sports Issue.

The 42-year-old singer certainly looked like a lady not to be messed with in the sizzling new photoshoot and held up the gloves over her sexy curves.

In a series of stunning snaps, the mother-of-two flaunted her sublimely toned yet curvy figure in traditional tough-looking padded leather boxing briefs, and barely covers her chest with a cut-off white vest.

In other images the Monster-In-Law star slipped on a studded diamante Prada satin jacket and traditional silk dressing gown as she packed a few punches for the camera.

The sultry Latina displayed some risqué behaviour in the shoot, grabbing at her groin protector in one particular snap.

In a more fashion forward photograph, the curvy star donned a pair of high-waisted briefs, which once again accentuate her muscular legs and a knotted white T-shirt that showed off her toned abs.

Her masculine yet sexy look is rounded off with her hair slicked back in an up-do and smokey eye make-up applied.

The incredible shot was shot by famed international photographer Mario Testino and styled by former French Vogue Editor-In-Chief Carine Roitfeld.

In the issue for which Lopez graced the cover, she also opened up about her personal life, her failures, her family and the Latin community in the 12-page spread.

The theme of the shoot is designed to be indicative of her highly successful career, which has seen Lopez go from actress to singer to business mogul to American Idol judge, but sometimes has taken a bit of a hit.

“I can take a lot of punches and still keep going,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the magazine.

“I’ve been trained like a boxer to go 15 rounds,” she said.

According to V, the On The 6 hitmaker preferred the more masculine black style of groin cup when being style for the shoot.

“I thought it was more graphic,” she added.

Lopez’s stunning shoot comes after she made an enormous impact at the Oscars last weekend.

The star wowed the crowd as she stepped out in a plunging Zuhair Murad dress, which hugged her curvy figure to perfection.
