"I've broken my nose in three places and broken a bone under my eye socket once," she smiled. "All in sparring against men. It doesn't hurt all that much. Injuries are part of boxing.

"Once the gong rings all I can hear is my trainer -- and my kids yelling 'Go on, mum!' As long as my body works I'll carry on." |
