A decade since the British Boxing Board of Control ruled that women could fight, Sheffield's own 'million dollar baby' 15 year-old Bernelle Mitchell, is fast becoming the country's best female amateur boxer. However, as she approaches her biggest fight yet, Bernelle’s future may lie under the bright lights of the catwalk rather than the boxing ring.
