Very few of the best women go pro (certainly in the UK), however because there aren't the same financial incentives to do it as there are for men. In fact, through Team GB grants a lot of them will earn more as amateurs.

Anyway brockton I'm sure there will be some 147lb South Korean women who you can beat up in sparring as you prepare for your own pro debut.
When I was considering it, it would really have meant moving to the US because the UK is still now - 15+ years later behind the US and europe in terms of supporting womens boxing. I went from MA to boxing back to MA because there we so few women competing in boxing but plenty in thai & kickboxing.

But BBB have you gone a bit mental?
