Natasha Jonas, a female celebrity, has obtained a license to manage boxers.
Trailblazing female boxer Natasha Jonas continues to write history as she becomes the first black woman to obtain a manager’s licence from the British Boxing Board of Control.
Jonas, who comes from a sporting family (her sister is a professional footballer), was the first female boxer on Team GB and the first woman to represent Great Britain in boxing when she entered the ring at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England.
Last year, she became the first woman to be named British Boxer of the Year by the British Boxing Board of Control, following in the footsteps of Lennox Lewis, Naseem Hamed, and other British boxing superstars.
The two-weight world champion continues her trailblazing legacy by earning a manager’s license in order to begin managing the career of her young apprentice Mikie Tallon, who makes his professional debut later this month.
“I’ve always believed in myself and never allowed myself to give up.” I didn’t go out to be the first to do anything. “I just knew I wanted to break down barriers and not be afraid to do anything because it hadn’t been done before,” Jonas explained.
“That being said, one thing I do like about being first is that it makes you part of history and nobody can take that away from you.”
Natasha is extremely involved in the community, fulfills parenting duties, and serves as a pundit and analyst for Sky Sports Boxing in addition to her great career in the ring. Natasha Jonas, a female celebrity, has obtained a license to manage boxers.
Jonas’ most recent remarkable achievement is especially poignant because it falls during Black History Month and this year’s theme of ‘Celebrating Our Sisters.’ Jonas’ career, marked by tenacity and achievement, exemplifies her tenacious spirit and the power of women in athletics.
Jonas is looking forward to going back in the ring and establishing herself as one of the major personalities in British boxing after defeating Kandi Wyatt earlier this year to gain the IBF World Welterweight title and becoming a two-weight world champion.
Natasha Jonas is the focus of the latest episode of Sky Sports series Editions – released today on the Sky Sports YouTube channel.
Sky Sports Editions is a new social-first series that tells the must-know stories of elite sportswomen in a way that’s unique to them, as they are given the chance to style and direct their very own cover shoot.
