On the other side of the Atlantic, a teenager from Johannesburg has become the youngest woman to be granted a professional training license by Boxing South Africa. Female trainers are rare in the sport -- and that is something this young lady says she is determined to change. CGTN's Julie Scheier has the story.

Tamryn Raynor loves boxing. The 18-year-old learned her trade from some of South Africa's toughest boxers.

TAMRYN RAYNOR TEAM UNLEASHED BOXING TRAINER "My love for boxing started from a young age, because boxing has always been in the family, and when my uncle got his pro trainers license, and he started training guys, and I went with him to the gym, so I was with him there twice a day, every day and eventually I got so interested in the sport that I was like wow -- I want to do this myself -- I want to get involved."

Raynor's uncle, Lionel Hunter, is a 118-fight veteran and former professional fighter turned trainer. He took her under his wing at an early age.

LIONEL HUNTER TEAM UNLEASHED HEAD TRAINER "She is an excellent coach. She is very inquisitive and she always wants to learn. She is very good and she is calm, like in the corner when one of my fighters got a cut eye, she is very good at stopping the blood and she does not panic."

Tamryn brings a fresh, scientific approach to the gym.

LIONEL HUNTER TAMRYN'S UNCLE & MENTOR "She goes online and she is checking other coaches out, seeing what they are doing, and you know, you need young blood, so it has helped me a lot."

TAMRYN RAYNOR SOUTH AFRICA'S YOUNGEST LICENSED FEMALE TRAINER "I am young, I am upcoming, so I bring in the new knowledge. Of course my uncle, he knows the old-school things, and I bring in the new methods, so that's what I bring in boxing, and as a woman, it's something that made history and attracted attention to us as Team Unleashed."

As for her future role in women boxing, Raynor pulls no punches.

TAMRYN RAYNOR HOPEFUL OF TRAINING FUTURE WORLD CHAMPIONS "I definitely feel I can change the face of boxing in South Africa, you know, I believe we will produce a female world champion in this gym, and I have the platform now to not only represent myself, but represent other females in the sport of boxing. That is my goal and I feel my goal is honestly obtainable."

Despite her age, Tamryn Raynor is confident in her abilities, and as the youngest licensed lady trainer in professional boxing, she's set on changing the future of women boxing in her country. Julie Scheier, CGTN, Johannesburg, South Africa.
