The Smith Bros - Natasha Jonas on Liverpool Roots & the Boxing Pioneers
Natasha Jonas joins the Smith Brothers for a brilliant conversation about her journey from Liverpool football pitches to becoming one of British boxing’s most accomplished fighters. Brought to you by That Prize Guy - www.thatprizeguy.co.uk Tasha opens up about growing up in a hugely sporting family, being the only girl in the football team, finding boxing at the Rotunda, and the moment she realised the sport could take her somewhere. She talks honestly about representing Team GB, qualifying for the London 2012 Olympics, facing Katie Taylor, the heartbreak of Olympic defeat, motherhood, returning to boxing, and eventually winning her first world title. There’s plenty of laughs too - from the famous Smith Brothers training stories and boxing-gym banter to weight cuts, brutal runs, swimming sessions, school drop-offs and the reality of growing up in a competitive family. Tasha also discusses the growth of women’s boxing, the pioneers who helped make the sport possible, supporting the next generation through community work, and why boxing gyms can give young people so much more than just boxing. A proper Liverpool boxing conversation with one of the city’s great fighters.
