The former super-lightweight champion would find it “hard” to walk away from her sport after so many years but she admitted she doesn’t always relish what she does.

She told Boxing News magazine: "Love-hate would explain my career in boxing.

“When I love it, I am in a very good place. But when I hate it, I just can’t be bothered with it.

“But it is all I have ever done since I was a kid, so it is hard to walk away from it.

“The highs are so high and the lows are so low, and there is very little in between.

“It’s obviously great that I get paid, but in some ways, it is better when it is just a hobby.”

Chantelle used to question whether the sport was worth the mental strain it caused but has reached a place in her life and career where she can “cruise” with the highs and lows.

She said: “There are loads of times when I have thought, ‘What is the point of this?’

“The money is obviously good when you get to this level, but mentally, is it really worth it?

“I have had this conversation with the people that I am close to all the time.

“It’s a very challenging job. But I have built some very strong shoulders.

“Now I just ride the highs and the lows. I just cruise with them.”
