Norton became attuned to wins and losses at an early age as the son of heavyweight champion boxer Ken Norton Sr.

The boxer was the subject of harassment during last year's Summer Olympics after she was falsely accused of being male.

By winning that award, Swank became the first woman in academy history to win for playing a boxer, in “Million Dollar Baby.”

And that was how the professional curtain fell for a fighter who once was called one of the promising boxers in Oscar De La Hoya’s stable.

Nicknamed 'Miss GB', Jonas was the first female boxer to represent Great Britain at an Olympic Games when she did so in 2012.
