(JUN 16) Britain's best know
women's boxer Jane Couch has been made an
MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List which was published
today. She received the news on the eve of her departure
for the USA where she will bid to bring home the 6th World
title of her professional career which now spans 14 years.
"I am gob-smacked," Jane told Sportuk.tv. "For years you
wonder if anyone cares about you. I've flown all around the
world and appeared on some of the biggest shows but to be
honoured by the Queen like this is unbelievable. I'm so
proud"
Next Wednesday Jane will face up to Jaime
Clampitt for the IWBF super lightweight title at
the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut where she beat the
same opponent exactly two years ago. Thanks to
Continental Airlines she has been able to
re-scheduled her flight to the States to allow her time to
celebrate her MBE.
