A former solicitor has traded her £75,000 a year job to enter the ring as a professional boxer in Tooting later this month.
Laura Saperstein was a solicitor with top city law firm Freshfields when her boyfriend took her to a boxing match three years ago.
Overcome by how fit and skillful the boxers her, the 36-year-old decided to pull on the gloves herself.
Now, having won her professional licence with 10 successful amateur bouts, Laura is stepping in to the ring at Tooting Leisure Centre on November 18.
