Absolutely, yeah.

And even after the Rio Olympics, that's when I knew I needed a change because my career was on a bit of a slope, downhill slope.

And that's when I got in touch with Eddie.

And I sent him a message on Twitter saying that I wanted to turn pro and I believe that I can do in professional boxing what I did in the amateur game.

And that's when he met up with me and here we are.

And he sent me an email that night saying, I'm not sure how this is going to go, but I'm going to give it a go.

And here we are.

10 years later, a headline in Crow Park.

Not just 10 years later, a headline in Crow Park.

I know it's great and even when we were first headlining MSG the first time females have actually headlined at Madison Square Garden and I knew even going into Manhattan that week seeing my face on billboards around the place that this is different this feels different and um it was just an amazing moment in the history of women's boxing again but like you said this has brought it to another level yeah headlining an 80 000 seat arena yeah this is uh yeah incredible

I don't think I even had the capacity to dream about this to be honest, but I really believed that, I was hoping that I could change the game somewhat, but I don't think that my wildest dreams could have imagined what happened over the last few years in terms of Madison Square Garden, the Netflix fights, fighting on the same card as Mike Tyson, all these things.

It really has surpassed all my expectations to be honest.

Absolutely, he's been brilliant, hasn't he?

And even the last few weeks and months and even getting this fight over the line, he's been absolutely incredible in all the interviews he's done.

I love the fact that I'm starting my career with Eddie and my team and ending my career with the same team.

I love that as well.

hold this over me if i don't get it done he's been brilliant absolutely brilliant i'm so grateful that like i wouldn't be in the position i'm obviously in today if it wasn't for eddie backing all the way as well put me on all those big fights and early on in my career had me on an anthony joshua undercard yeah right before him that was amazing for my own platform just said just to get that platform out at such an early stage of my career yeah it was phenomenal for me yeah it's an opportunity but then you delivered every time so of course like

Yeah, I wasn't sure how far I could take it, but I wanted to.

Obviously, when I turned pro, women's boxing was pretty much non-existent.

Women's professional boxing, and even back then, they were making pennies as well.
