Ahead of her much awaited pro-debut, British featherweight Marianne Marston has been sparring with veteran Angel McKenzie in London.
Marston, who has trained in America under the watchful eye of former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier, has been trying to get her career off the ground after numerous false starts.
Lightweight McKenzie is coming off her first victory over the course of her last 16 appearances and is perhaps one of the most experienced women boxers in Britain.
Marston is reportedly trying to overturn recent American visa woes to compete on a September 26 fight card in Philadelphia.
The "Golden Girl" currently makes her homebase at Rooney's Gym in London.
