Natasha Jonas is set to become the first ever black female boxing manager in UK by guiding Mikie Tallon ahead of his professional debut this weekend.
The world champion fighter is already a high profile figure in women's boxing having become a two-weight world champion at welterweight and super welterweight - and has now made history by venturing into boxing management.
The 39-year-old has obtained her manger's licence and will work with flyweight Tallon for his upcoming fight against Sean Jackson in Manchester.
Revealing her motivation for making the breakthrough into boxing management, Jonas said she wanted to continue to 'break barriers' and saw it as a huge opportunity to make waves in the sport.
