Retired Australian professional boxer Diana Prazak stepped into a boxing ring for the first time age 27, having been told she'd never make it, and to forget boxing as a career.

She's recently retired having been admitted into the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame.

Diana moved to California to pursue a career that saw her become world champion. Retired Australian professional boxer Diana Prazak stepped into a boxing ring for the first time age 27, having been told she'd never make it, and to forget boxing as a career.

Diana moved to California to pursue a career that saw her become world champion, in the ranking of best active professional boxer pound-for-pound.

In a sport where women are slowly gaining equity, she remains largely unrecognised by her own country of Australia, but continues to encourage anyone who's been told they can't pursue their dreams.

Diana has recently been in Vegas to participate in the Cleveland Clinic Professional Athlete Study, where the cumulative effects of repetitive concussions and sub-concussive impacts to the brain is studied.
