A woman boxer has proved she is a real knock out: she has made the final of a top modelling competition.
Mother-of-two Amy Williams of Port Talbot, South Wales is swapping the boxing ring for the catwalk as she takes on dozens of other young beauties in the final of Top Model UK 2013.
But first she has to get through a big boxing bout - and she's hoping she doesn't take any blows to the face.
