ReplyShe was an awesome fighter and one of my daughters heroes. Hope she recovers well.
ReplyWhy is it necessary to draw attention to the fact that she was 'female'...?
4 Repliesmay have been self defence on her partners part.... women abuse their partners too.. hes 66 and an old man shes 42 and a top boxer...
