In a list of the top 50 marketable athletes, the undefeated lightweight champion took the number 47 slot. She is ahead of Rory McIlroy, Harry Kane, and Marcus Rashford and just one place behind Novak Djokovic.

And Katie was the only boxer included on the list - meaning huge names like Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua also missed out. Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo was named number one on the list, which was compiled by Sports Pro, with footballers like Mohamad Salah and Erling Haaland dominating the list.
