Eubank and Benn<\/a>, I\u2019ll watch that, but I never watch just boxing.<\/p>\n\u201cI don’t like any sports, really. I just happen to be good at boxing but I feel like because I do it all the time, I don’t want to watch it. So when I come home, I get to get away from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t watch any sports, that’s why I just watch films and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
The capacity to switch off from the sport can be a good thing.<\/p>\n
Ayton has already taken part in more than 300 fights across various disciplines but she is still a teenager. If things progress the way she and her promoters, Matchroom, hope, Ayton will quickly become a major player in female boxing and demands and expectations will rise accordingly. For the time being, it is important she continues to enjoy what she is doing.<\/p>\n
Ayton fights with a natural aggression but good fundamentals. Her right hand comes out faster and straighter than some fighters who have spent years trying to perfect their craft, and she also has proven that she can be a ruthless finisher. <\/p>\n
Ayton may have been fighting since she was six years old, but her style still has a raw, instinctive feel to it. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then one day, I just started training hard like I’m doing now, just constantly training.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like hard work and talent is unstoppable because no one’s ever beat me yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate losing. I never lost in sports days or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
