Meet the female bare-knuckle fighter who trains by punching concrete paving slabs - and laughs at misogynist men who say she has "puny arms".

Danni Ashfield, 32, recently signed a pro contract - and thinks she could be the first female fighter with autism in Britain.

The personal trainer, from Flintshire, took up bare-knuckle fighting after her autism prevented her from being able to wear boxing gloves.

Not being able to see her hands gave her anxiety - so the gloves were off.
