Summary

Janine Davies is proof that hard times create hard women.


Growing up on a tough estate, with an abusive mother and an absent father, Janine had to get street-wise very quickly.


She learnt to stick-up for herself, and wasn’t afraid to fight those that crossed the line.


That fighting spirit led her to making a name for herself in the ring, becoming British Kickboxing Champion, World Muay Thai Boxing Champion, and later a Powerlifting and Weightlifting Champion.


She was also a formidable bouncer, an incredibly qualified PT, and a lovely woman.
