Natasha Jonas will put her WBC and IBF welterweight titles on the line against Lauren Price .

The 40-year-old is the first British female boxer to box at an Olympic Games .

Jonas was nicknamed 'Miss GB ' for her own Olympic appearance.

The Liverpool boxer was sacked from seven call centre jobs after tearing her cruciate ligament.

Jonas called time on her amateur career in 2014 with a record of 57 wins and 26 defeats.

She gave birth to her daughter, Mila , and was happy to never box again.

Former Team GB team-mate Tom Stalker phoned Jonas after Katie Taylor's pro debut.

After speaking to her family, Jonas realised the boxing fire was still burning.

Turning pro was a decision that paid off in February 2022 , Jonas stopped Chris Namus to become light-middleweight world champion.
