2. Although women's boxing goes back centuries - and the 1904 Olympic Games held a demonstration bout - it wasn't until 1998 that the first British female boxer was licensed. Tarzan would have been proud. Who was she?

From Quiz Rolling With the Punches

Answer: Jane Couch

Up until the 1980s, most major organizations and licensing bureaus banned women from boxing.

The Swedish Amateur Boxing Association first sanctioned boxing events for women in 1988 - and the USA and some other countries quickly followed; but the British Amateur Boxing Association waited until 1997 to do so. Jane Couch was at the relatively 'old' age of thirty when she became the first officially licensed British female boxer. Born 14 August 1968, Jane's first fight - and the first British sanctioned boxing match between women - was against Simona Lukic and was held in November 1998 at Streatham, London. Despite her age, Jane won numerous world titles in a professional boxing career spanning fourteen years.
