The Final Round is an inspirational tale of a woman's unwavering pursuit to become a boxer. Born in Fleetwood, Jane Couch's life took an unexpected turn when she witnessed two American women boxers on television and felt an instant connection to the sport. However, she soon discovered that women were not allowed to box in the UK, forcing her to train secretly, sparring with men, and traveling abroad to compete. Despite facing countless obstacles and discrimination, Jane refused to give up on her dream. In 1998, after a legal battle, a court of law ruled that the British Board of Boxing Control had violated her rights and awarded her the first UK license to box. Despite this groundbreaking achievement, Jane faced ridicule and disdain from the male-dominated boxing community. She was labeled a freak show and subjected to heated discussions on television chat shows. Despite these challenges, Jane's story is one of passion, resilience, and unwavering determination. Her unwavering commitment to breaking barriers and pursuing her passion paved the way for women to enter the world of boxing, and her legacy continues to inspire generations of athletes.
