2022 has been quite the year for Natasha Jonas.

The Liverpool boxer started 2022 with no world titles and ends it with three.

Natasha beat Canadian Marie-Eve Dicaire in Manchester on Saturday to become the WBC, WBO and IBF super welterweight champion and round off the perfect year.

Natasha said: "I don't think I've had a year like 2022 in my career and I've been boxing for 17 years now.

And now I'm just chilling at my nan's enjoying it with everybody because everything I go through in camp these go through it with me.

They see the ugly side of the sport. It's not always smiles and good times, there's tough times too and these go through it with me. So it's nice to come back and chill and appreciate the journey that we've been on."

After a busy year Natasha is now planning a relaxing end to 2022.

She'll be going on holiday and spending more time with her family as she gets refreshed and ready for another big year of boxing.

And when it comes to family, Natasha is not the only member who knows about sporting success.

Her sister is the England Lioness and Manchester United footballer Nikita Parris, so winning had fast become a family pastime.
