Jane Couch changed the world. Born in a small fishing town in the north west of the UK, Jane turned her life away from street-fighting and crime after watching a boxing documentary aged 26.
She won multiple World Titles, yet wasn’t even allowed to fight in her own country until successfully suing the British Board of Boxing Control in 1998.
This episode sees Jane and Natasha Jonas—Great Britain’s first ever female Olympic boxer—in conversation about the struggle, determination, and victories that it took to overcome gender inequality in the world of boxing.
