0:00:37 > 0:00:40We offer escape for people here.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48We offer time away to get lost in their own thoughts,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52to come in to unleash issues that they've got,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55lose themselves for a period of time in the gym.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Practically every day I get a call about something,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05somebody having trouble, financial trouble,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08somebody having trouble with their marriage,

0:01:08 > 0:01:10someone just needing...

0:01:11 > 0:01:13..a shoulder to cry on,

0:01:13 > 0:01:14somebody to listen to them.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21It hasn't been easy

0:01:21 > 0:01:23in kickboxing for me.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29I went through a nasty divorce.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32I've had businesses that has flopped

0:01:32 > 0:01:36because of my one-track mind.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40I've lost houses.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I've lost a lot.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46It's a struggle to keep this tin hut going.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Go, go!

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Push it.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Jab, jab, jab. Don't stop, don't stop.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Go for it, go for it.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Don't stop, don't stop.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Come again, keep going.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Keep it going.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Sharp, sharp, sharp.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Keep it going, keep it going.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Come on!

0:02:33 > 0:02:36You hear the birds tweeting in the roof space

0:02:36 > 0:02:39when you come in in the morning and the walls,

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I don't know if you see the walls sometimes,

0:02:41 > 0:02:45if you look at the walls, in a weird way they start to move and you start

0:02:45 > 0:02:48to feel a wee bit disorientated.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52I love that. It just adds to the character of the place.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yeah, it's amazing.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00I remember one day someone saying, "It's boiling in here, sir."

0:03:00 > 0:03:04And two minutes later he pushed open these two doors and they creaked

0:03:04 > 0:03:07as he opened them and I thought the building was going to come down.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10And he opened the doors and he says, "There's your air conditioning!"

0:03:10 > 0:03:13As the sun shone in, and it was even worse cos the sun was shining in then!

0:03:13 > 0:03:17But, yeah, it's just an old, old gym where hard work happens.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21It is a dump and, you know, Mr Murray knows it is a dump.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26But it's what goes on inside that dump that actually changes the whole

0:03:26 > 0:03:30thing about Prokick. That's what makes the huge support that Prokick has.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Like people just overlook the looks on the outside and it's what goes on

0:03:34 > 0:03:37on the inside, you know, that really attracts people.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03A lot of people probably wouldn't

0:04:03 > 0:04:04get to know me that easily.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10The reason why I got involved, I was very quiet, very timid as a child.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16When I was eight, I was in the local school park and I got beat up.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19I got beat up badly by five girls

0:04:19 > 0:04:22and just was in the wrong uniform in the wrong park, wrong time.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29My dad then was going through the local Belfast Telegraph,

0:04:29 > 0:04:31seen classes, so he thought,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33"Great, this will give her a bit of confidence."

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Put me into it and then he realised that actually girls fight

0:04:36 > 0:04:38and he asked me not to do it.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41He says, "I don't want you doing that."

0:04:41 > 0:04:43By this stage it was too late, I'd fallen in love with it.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47I loved it. And then, from the age of nine, I stuck at it.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56You've got a massive sacrifice on your social life and probably

0:04:56 > 0:04:58relationships and so on.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00If I had a family with kids,

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I couldn't commit to the sport as much as I do now.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09One sister has a family and kids and she tells me, you know,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12you've got to think about this, you've got to think about family,

0:05:12 > 0:05:15your time's ticking, you need to get out and meet people.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's very hard. When are you going to meet someone?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19When are you going to fit time in to have that relationship?

0:05:19 > 0:05:22So I think I've just put it down to my head.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24If I'm going to meet someone, and it's going to happen,

0:05:24 > 0:05:27it's going to happen, there's no point going out looking for it.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44People would say, "Ursula, God, you don't look like a kickboxer.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47"You seem so gentle outside the ring.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50"How can you turn into this fighter inside the ring?"

0:05:50 > 0:05:51And I always say, "It's just within,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54"it's just something that you feel, rather than a choice."

0:05:54 > 0:05:57People think they want to fight, and they get a punch in the face and they don't come back.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Or they lose a fight and was never there, do you know what I mean?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03When you have that strong desire to do it and you love it and you have that passion, like,

0:06:03 > 0:06:06you just can't turn your back on it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Picture what you're going to do.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09She's going to want to power forward,

0:06:09 > 0:06:12she's going to have to because you're so much taller.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Ursula has got the tenacity and the will to win.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20You can keep her away.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23'When Ursula first started to fight, she was very nervous and

0:06:23 > 0:06:26'she was very insecure.'

0:06:29 > 0:06:31If you want it bad enough, you keep going.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35She's just got the desire, she wants to succeed.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41CHEERING

0:06:50 > 0:06:53I hurt everybody in my family, I wasn't a very nice person.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I put my mummy and daddy through hell.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00I don't really know what triggered me, why I went so wrong,

0:07:00 > 0:07:03but from a very early age I was off the rails.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05CROWD CHANTS

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Drinking every night of the week, partying, drugs, everything,

0:07:09 > 0:07:13you name it. Just completely down the wrong road and the wrong crowd.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15You've been here before a few times, Ursula.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18My mummy was even saying to me, like, "Ursula,

0:07:18 > 0:07:20"I didn't think you were going to make it."

0:07:20 > 0:07:24She was always waiting on the rap at the door to say I was found dead or

0:07:24 > 0:07:26something like that, you know,

0:07:26 > 0:07:28because of the lifestyle I was living, it was just so rough.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29BELL RINGS

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Go, Ursula!

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Good girl. Yes, Ursula.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37For me, the turning point was getting into trouble in 2005.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Good, nice right arm.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46I got arrested for GBH with intent.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50I was just lying in the cell going like, "How did it come to this?"

0:07:52 > 0:07:55I just thought, "I can't live like this no more, you know,

0:07:55 > 0:07:58"I've got a son and I need to be there for him."

0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's... It was terrible.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Somebody could have been dead.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06You need to stay long and ram your jab right through her.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10I actually turned to God at that point.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I said, "Get me out of here."

0:08:13 > 0:08:15And I promised that, if He got me out of this trouble,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17I would change my life.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Stay there! Stay there!

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Stay there! Stay there!

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Whey!

0:08:24 > 0:08:27I love the fact that kickboxing has given me the discipline

0:08:27 > 0:08:29to stay off the drink and give up the party life, you know.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's a pity I learnt the hard way, but

0:08:32 > 0:08:35to come through all that and to be sitting now as a world champion,

0:08:35 > 0:08:38it's just unbelievable. It really is amazing.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Five years ago, I had lost my brother.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09It was a sad time and a tough time for our family.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I started going to the gym just to make yourself feel

0:09:12 > 0:09:14like you're coping better or something like that,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16you know, take your mind off things.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18So I started down in Prokick.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27One of my friends trained at Prokick,

0:09:27 > 0:09:30he had said to me the best thing that you could do, you know,

0:09:30 > 0:09:34use kickboxing to clear your head and, you know,

0:09:34 > 0:09:35take your mind off things.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37And I did.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39And it worked, it worked perfect.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Not that I was using kickboxing to like, direct anger or sadness

0:09:58 > 0:10:00in any way, you know, on anybody else.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02It wasn't anything like that.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05If anything it was more, it was more just...

0:10:05 > 0:10:06giving me a purpose.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13It was actually just, um,

0:10:13 > 0:10:16just around the time of my brother's passing

0:10:16 > 0:10:18that I won my first European title.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I wish he could see me now, really, you know.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29Especially the scale of the fights that I'm involved with,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31you know, with Prokick.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I feel I do make him proud.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Rain, rain, fall in torrents.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Streams.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Fall fast and hard and wash me clean.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Swell the rivers, raise its flows, so it covers me and takes my woes.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Lightning, lightning, crackle and blind.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Strike the darkness from my mind.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Illuminate the path, so I can see the road to travel, so I'll be free.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39As a human being, I need to know what I'm made of.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42I need to know, you know, how I'm built.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46I need to know how I react in the hardest of times

0:11:46 > 0:11:49and in the best of times.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58I have those extremes in me and I need to kind of work with them.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Even having to fight every six to eight weeks,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10that's so good for me because it gives me, like, right, OK,

0:12:10 > 0:12:15everything else around me I can't control and I can't, you know,

0:12:15 > 0:12:17that's life. You can't control life.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20It ebbs and it flows in its own terms,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22and you just have to go with it so much

0:12:22 > 0:12:25and that frustrates me, you know.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28So this gives me that focus

0:12:28 > 0:12:32and it gives me that kind of full stop that I need sometimes.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Samantha is a powerhouse...

0:12:40 > 0:12:42..and she's just got fighting...

0:12:44 > 0:12:46..desire inside.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47It's burning.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53She's got this quest where she just wants to fight.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57and the thing about Samantha is - she loves to fight.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04You come through that crowd and the cheering and the shouting

0:13:04 > 0:13:07and the roaring and raaaah!

0:13:07 > 0:13:11And you get into that ring and everything else fades away.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26It's funny, you're never kind of more at peace.

0:13:27 > 0:13:33You're never more perfectly, you know, beautifully in the moment.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Nothing else exists outside of those four corners.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01One of the cranes of Belfast.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Inspiring, isn't it?

0:14:03 > 0:14:07The strongest things in Belfast and we're training underneath it.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10But it's a shame, sort of way, it's went now, you know?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12It would be nice to see a bit of work back here.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Who knows?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Another Titanic could be built here.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Yeah, turn here, turn here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Belfast is a tough city, really, isn't it?

0:14:30 > 0:14:35You know, obviously we've been through hard times growing up here.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I always thought I had some, some boxing skills, you know,

0:14:40 > 0:14:42when I was a kid growing up.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45I grew up in a sort of working-class area, you almost needed to,

0:14:45 > 0:14:49you know, where I came from or else you would be slapped to the bottom

0:14:49 > 0:14:51of the pile very quickly, you know.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52Oh, sorry!

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Sorry.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59We've known each other now for eight years or so, I think,

0:14:59 > 0:15:00myself and Billy.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04My partner's Billy's daughter, her name's Brooke,

0:15:04 > 0:15:08and whenever myself and Brooke started to go out with each other

0:15:08 > 0:15:10it was a wee bit strange. He's always been the coach, you know,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12he's the coach first and foremost.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14We call him Mr Murray or Sir, you know.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16There's a strict sort of...

0:15:17 > 0:15:19..there's a divide there, you know.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Familiarity breeds contempt -

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I believe that -

0:15:23 > 0:15:26and I think you have to keep... not a distance.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30I mean, it's important to have the discipline in a gym

0:15:30 > 0:15:33because, without discipline, you lose it.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36People become familiar, they don't try as hard...

0:15:36 > 0:15:39and they'll cross the line quicker.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Look, if he hurts you, don't cry.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Don't show it.- No pain.- No pain.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Because he's my coach first and foremost and then it's Brooke's

0:15:56 > 0:16:01dad at the same time, that was a strange one because he's, you know,

0:16:01 > 0:16:04he's a tough guy, but he's a gentleman, you know.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07He has this aura about him as a tough guy, but...

0:16:09 > 0:16:13..once we got past the sort of first hurdle, he wasn't too bad, actually.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15But, aye, it was scary for a while.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24Keep going!

0:16:37 > 0:16:39CHEERING

0:16:42 > 0:16:45He's almost like a father figure to me now as well, you know.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I could speak to him about anything now, there's no,

0:16:48 > 0:16:49there's no sort of barrier there as such.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52He's always the coach first and foremost, he's always the coach,

0:16:52 > 0:16:55but he's more than that to me now, you know.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09To be successful in this sport you have to be selfish.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14I have put kickboxing first to get as far as I've got, train hard,

0:17:14 > 0:17:17get my head down and put the hours in that I need to do,

0:17:17 > 0:17:20and that does mean you're not there for other family members

0:17:20 > 0:17:23that need you to be there. And you do make a lot of sacrifices.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Like, I'm a single parent. Shane's 13 now and, you know,

0:17:29 > 0:17:31like he has learning difficulties and it's such a struggle,

0:17:31 > 0:17:33you know, sitting down getting his homework.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36He needs my time and he doesn't always get it.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37What's going to be first?

0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Six.- So that's going to be next, then?

0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's a struggle, like, trying to get him home from school,

0:17:42 > 0:17:44get the homework done, get dinner on.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46You're flying out to train, it's quite stressful.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's stressful enough training for a fight,

0:17:48 > 0:17:50never mind having to deal with everything else.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55And I am riddled with guilt for the decisions I've made and the choices

0:17:55 > 0:18:01I've made, you know. It's terrible but I want to make it up to him.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03That's the reason I'm retiring because, you know,

0:18:03 > 0:18:05my coach did say, "Ursula, look, you can go professional."

0:18:05 > 0:18:07But I know it's going to take another three,

0:18:07 > 0:18:09four years and I don't have that much time left.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I need to start focusing now on Shane.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14You know, I've done what I came to do and I don't need

0:18:14 > 0:18:16to take it any further, you know.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Shane's important now and now it's time to put him first.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Does that feel all right? - Spot on.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Spread the fingers out again.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28People always think it's a male dominated sport, it's for men only,

0:18:28 > 0:18:31where there's quite a lot of females that do do it.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Mr Murray gives us total respect.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38We do the same training as the men do and if someone's flipping a tyre

0:18:38 > 0:18:41at 100kg, the woman's flipping a tyre at 100kg.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Or if you're sparring, you're sparring men, you're sparring women.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46So you're treated exactly 100% fair.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49And we don't expect to be treated any different,

0:18:49 > 0:18:52any of the female fighters. We want to be treated equally.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54The last fight of the night...

0:19:06 > 0:19:09People used to look at you funny whenever you told them you did martial arts,

0:19:09 > 0:19:12or you fought or whatever. It wasn't accepted that much.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14I suppose my own father is a massive prime example,

0:19:14 > 0:19:16he doesn't believe women should fight.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18He's never seen me fight in his life.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20He's never been to any competition or tournament.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Here we go, round one of five.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Sometimes I think, "Yeah, he's missing out massively.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29"He's missed out on a massive part of my life."

0:19:29 > 0:19:33And one of my coaches didn't believe that I'd actually told him I fought because he never came,

0:19:33 > 0:19:36so he lifted the phone one day and asked him and his answer back was,

0:19:36 > 0:19:37"There's enough people watching her!"

0:19:37 > 0:19:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Go on, Cathy! Go on, Cathy!

0:20:02 > 0:20:08I don't like two women standing toe for toe

0:20:08 > 0:20:10with blood coming out of their face.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Saying that, I'm in the corner with my fighters,

0:20:14 > 0:20:18which I get emotionally charged

0:20:18 > 0:20:20and I'm passionate about my fighters and

0:20:20 > 0:20:25I'm passionate about my fighters' desire to win,

0:20:25 > 0:20:29as much as mine as a coach to have success for them.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39I've seen me standing in the corners shouting, "Hit her harder!

0:20:40 > 0:20:42"Punch her in the face!"

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Samantha's preparation was poor for the last fight.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27She took it just a little bit lax and she didn't really feel

0:21:27 > 0:21:29that the girl was a threat...

0:21:30 > 0:21:33..and she was grossly overweight.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40She lost the fight

0:21:40 > 0:21:43and she took a pretty badly.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48She took it badly because she knew fine rightly that she only lost it

0:21:48 > 0:21:50because of herself.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52She wasn't being honest with herself,

0:21:52 > 0:21:53she wasn't being honest with me.

0:22:01 > 0:22:06It really has actually been one of the most difficult years

0:22:06 > 0:22:07for me in a long time.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16I had so much going on personally,

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I had a lot of old demons,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21that I thought that I had really put to bed,

0:22:21 > 0:22:23came surging back again

0:22:23 > 0:22:27and I was sort of struggling personally and emotionally

0:22:27 > 0:22:29with some of that stuff.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I shouldn't have been in the ring.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41I believe that...

0:22:43 > 0:22:45That I'm weak.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49The training and the fighting and the struggling to understand

0:22:49 > 0:22:52my own strength comes from that genuine

0:22:52 > 0:22:56fear of my own weakness and belief in my own weakness,

0:22:56 > 0:23:00and inadequacy and sense of myself as a failure.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05And there are moments and you think, "I can't do this, I can't,

0:23:05 > 0:23:07"I can't do this.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10"I don't want to do this. I can't do it."

0:23:10 > 0:23:12And then...

0:23:12 > 0:23:15there's another voice and it's just like...

0:23:16 > 0:23:19"Well, then, who are you if you don't?"

0:23:31 > 0:23:34The first thing Samantha asked me, "Please can I defend my title?"

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Well, she needed time.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39She needed a good six months to get herself into the best shape

0:23:39 > 0:23:41ever in her life.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48She was maybe 11, 12 kilos overweight.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50That's a lot.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Samantha Robb!

0:23:55 > 0:23:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:57 > 0:23:59I worked with her

0:23:59 > 0:24:02solely for three times a day for a week

0:24:02 > 0:24:05and in six days we took nearly four kilos off.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Within the last three weeks she's really,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16she's really worked hard -

0:24:16 > 0:24:19the way she should have worked six months ago.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23She weighs in at 66.5.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25APPLAUSE

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I don't know which way this fight's going to go.

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Is Samantha going to lose?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35What's going to happen if she loses the fight?

0:24:35 > 0:24:38If she loses the fight, it could really throw her over the edge.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46BELL RINGS

0:24:52 > 0:24:5430 seconds left!

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Come on! Come on!

0:25:44 > 0:25:48My brother, whenever I lost him, I lost him in Australia.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51And it was an accident at work,

0:25:51 > 0:25:54so it was just within the construction industry,

0:25:54 > 0:25:55it was just an accident.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57As I say, it was fatal.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04I want to go out and go to the factory...

0:26:04 > 0:26:06that's where he lost his life, you know, in the factory.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09It was a mishap with one of the machines.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13I don't want to believe someone's word, you know.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17I've worked in construction a long time and I want to see for myself,

0:26:17 > 0:26:20you know...how did it happen? Did it happen?

0:26:20 > 0:26:24You know, and just sort of see it for myself rather than just always

0:26:24 > 0:26:28sort of being told, "Your brother had an accident,

0:26:28 > 0:26:31"he lost his life and here's his body, so bury him."

0:26:34 > 0:26:37That photo was whenever he was back here for his holiday,

0:26:37 > 0:26:42just before he went back to Australia for the sort of last three weeks of his life.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44And there's another couple there, just of me and my brother

0:26:44 > 0:26:47when we were in Sydney when I was over for a holiday, you know,

0:26:47 > 0:26:49just together and hugging and stuff.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52You know, that's the sort of memories that I like to have.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55You know, just ones that make me smile.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Go, go, go!

0:27:48 > 0:27:52The judges in their wisdom have decided that the winner...

0:27:54 > 0:27:57..and still champion is in the red corner!

0:27:57 > 0:27:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:12 > 0:28:17Miss Samantha Robb!

0:28:17 > 0:28:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:28 > 0:28:32A fighter, when they fight, they see a tunnel vision

0:28:32 > 0:28:34and all they see is the fighter in front...

0:28:35 > 0:28:38..where I've got a bigger perspective from the outside

0:28:38 > 0:28:42and I can see more, and a good fighter is one that listens.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48And I try to get all of our fighters, including Ursula,

0:28:48 > 0:28:50to try and think more.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Ursula, who's going to be amazing?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55- Me.- Come on, get in the zone!

0:28:55 > 0:28:56Tonight...

0:28:58 > 0:29:02..in what appears to be her very last fight,

0:29:02 > 0:29:06she's trying to make it World Title number three.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10Ursula Agnew!

0:29:14 > 0:29:15Come on, Ursula!

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Come on!

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Don't get back, you need to stay there.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32'It's one thing being a fighter

0:29:32 > 0:29:35'who goes forward and just throws punches,

0:29:35 > 0:29:40'but a harder fighter to beat is an intelligent thinking,

0:29:40 > 0:29:41'aggressive fighter.'

0:29:43 > 0:29:45Ursula's got both.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48She's aggressive and she's a good thinker

0:29:48 > 0:29:50and a good listener in the ring,

0:29:50 > 0:29:53and she reacts very fast.

0:29:53 > 0:29:54That's an asset.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57You have to angle off your chaser.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58Control the centre of the ring.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Work from there.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02If it doesn't work, then take a half step back,

0:30:02 > 0:30:04move to the right or left, then re-engage.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09You can do this.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11Come on, get in the zone. You get in the zone.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Show her who's two-time World Champion.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18BELL RINGS

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Over.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46- That's OK.- Doctor, come in.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49- She kicked you in the head. - She never kicked me!- She did.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Are you OK?- No way. - No, stop, stop, stop.

0:30:52 > 0:30:53Just relax. Just relax.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Just relax.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Relax. She just caught you cold.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01She just caught you cold, she caught you cold.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03That's OK. You're going to get up now

0:31:03 > 0:31:05and you're going to wish her well.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Yeah, I know. - Come on, come on.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09One doctor stay, please.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Nobody likes to lose.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25You have to come back harder.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27There's no other way.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29There is no other way.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32If you want it, if you want it, you have to go and get it.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48I have heard sayings, you know, "You're only as sick as your secrets."

0:31:48 > 0:31:51And when you have these shadow aspects of yourself

0:31:51 > 0:31:54that you don't want people to know about,

0:31:54 > 0:31:55that you don't express,

0:31:55 > 0:31:59then they can really begin to dominate

0:31:59 > 0:32:01and I think that that's what they did for me.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09I think before I found Prokick I'd really been on that process and that

0:32:09 > 0:32:13journey of, what do you really want in life, you know?

0:32:13 > 0:32:16And what is holding you back from getting what you really want?

0:32:20 > 0:32:23If somebody had told me ten years ago,

0:32:23 > 0:32:26find out what you love doing and do it all the time,

0:32:26 > 0:32:30that that was kind of the answer to a happy life,

0:32:30 > 0:32:33then, my God, I would've been doing this kind of thing a lot earlier, you know.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38There will come a day that I've said, "Do you know what?

0:32:38 > 0:32:41"I've done what I wanted to do in kickboxing."

0:32:41 > 0:32:46But when that day comes, it'll be because of a positive thing,

0:32:46 > 0:32:52it'll be because I feel like I've achieved what I wanted to achieve

0:32:52 > 0:32:56and I'm ready to move on and achieve other things in other areas.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58It won't be because I quit.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Winner...

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Well, there isn't one.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05It's a draw! The judges couldn't separate them.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:33:20 > 0:33:23I just felt that it was time to move on from kickboxing, you know,

0:33:23 > 0:33:25and I pushed myself for that last fight.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28To be quite honest, I could have retired before that.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31I spoke to Billy about a week after the fight,

0:33:31 > 0:33:34I called in to see him and he said to me, "Ursula, I would never,

0:33:34 > 0:33:36"ever hang up my boots like that."

0:33:36 > 0:33:38He said, "It's about fighting her again."

0:33:38 > 0:33:41I had a good bit of time to think about it and I went down and spoke

0:33:41 > 0:33:43to Billy again and I just said to him,

0:33:43 > 0:33:45"You know, I'm just going to retire."

0:33:45 > 0:33:47And he just went, "OK."

0:33:47 > 0:33:49And I was like, "Right."

0:33:49 > 0:33:52You know. So that was it, really.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I haven't spoke to Billy since.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Er...

0:34:00 > 0:34:03I really don't want to talk about Ursula.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05I don't.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06I really don't.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10That's a sore subject for me.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22She's not the only one that I've worked hard with,

0:34:22 > 0:34:25got to a certain level and then she just didn't come back.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31The door's always open.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33If someone wants to come in,

0:34:33 > 0:34:36I've never refused anyone to train in here.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39I've never shunned anyone away.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53I've got lots of regrets.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59Regrets...

0:35:01 > 0:35:04..about my family.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08I was very selfish.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14I was very selfish

0:35:14 > 0:35:16when I was younger because I had a one-track mind.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20All I was interested in was...was fighting.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24And people suffer...

0:35:25 > 0:35:26..along the way.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32It's not easy when you're

0:35:32 > 0:35:36striving because you want to become a champion,

0:35:36 > 0:35:38you've got this one-track mind.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41That you want to be the best.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43It's very difficult. People...

0:35:43 > 0:35:45people are hurt along the way.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47It's hard.

0:36:00 > 0:36:06I remember the first time I was backstage for my first world title.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08I was the challenger

0:36:08 > 0:36:12and I was current professional European champion at the time.

0:36:12 > 0:36:17And I was backstage on my own, there was no-one with me.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23You've time to think about everything.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Everything is going through your head.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28Am I going to be able to do this?

0:36:28 > 0:36:31All the doubts, all the negativity and the positives

0:36:31 > 0:36:34start rushing through your head.

0:36:34 > 0:36:39- CROWD:- Here we go, here we go, here we go!

0:36:39 > 0:36:42One of the things that really came to me is how

0:36:42 > 0:36:46I got to this place, fighting for the championship of the world.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52I reflected back to my school days, where I was beaten up.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56And if it wasn't for that initial shock,

0:36:56 > 0:36:59I mightn't have been in that place at that particular time.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03My quest from wanting knowledge of martial arts,

0:37:03 > 0:37:09I ended up in an amazing fight venue

0:37:09 > 0:37:11and it was time to go to war.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25I beat him from pillar to post.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28I won the fight on the judges' cards

0:37:28 > 0:37:30but, by the time the penalty points was taken off,

0:37:30 > 0:37:33I lost the fight by a half point.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45I let just not myself down,

0:37:45 > 0:37:49but I let everyone that helped me to get to that stage down

0:37:49 > 0:37:52and that was a bitter pill to swallow.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00And because I didn't have a coach and a mentor

0:38:00 > 0:38:04that I would see every single day...

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I done a lot of mistakes in the fight.

0:38:08 > 0:38:1125 years later,

0:38:11 > 0:38:13as a fighter then turning into a trainer,

0:38:13 > 0:38:15I miss not getting into the ring.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20But it's not about me.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24It's not about me, it's about me pushing them.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28You have to be selfish.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30It's all about you.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33It's all about you and that's what I try to push.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40It's all about my fighters.
