"I've broken my nose in three places and broken a bone under my eye socket once," she smiled. "All in sparring against men. It doesn't hurt all that much. Injuries are part of boxing.

Izaki, who lists Puerto Rican world welterweight champion Miguel Cotto as her favourite boxer, has no plans to quit before possibly out-doing Foreman. "I don't think about my age," she insisted. "Once the gong rings all I can hear is my trainer -- and my kids yelling 'Go on, mum!' As long as my body works I'll carry on." |
