Historical Landmark: Female Boxer Natasha Jonas is the first black female to obtain a British Boxing Board of Control Manager’s Licence

This news was reported on October 16, 2023, apparently it took the BBC up until 2023 to issue the first black female a British Boxing Board of Control “manager’s licence—-So we are reporting the historical landmark for the BBC to do such a thing—I am sure female boxers and the boxing community are thrilled about this “ground-breaking news” in the year of 2023.  (sorry I am being just a tad bit sarcastic)…..

As reported in the media they said, “Jonas, the first woman to represent GB Boxing in 2009 then her nation at an Olympics three years later at London 2012, has enjoyed a successful career and is a two-weight world champion.  The 39-year-old Liverpudlian has now acquired a manager’s licence to start overseeing the career of her young protege Mikie Tallon, who makes his professional debut later this month.”
