Natasha Jonas capped off a year to remember by adding the IBF crown to her name after beating Marie-Eve Dicaire on points at the AO Arena.
Jonas warned Dicaire in the build-up to the fight that she was the more hurtful puncher of the two, and she backed up her words with a dominant display in Manchester.
The 38-year-old realised her dream of becoming a world champion in February by knocking out Chris Namus, before unifying in September with a unanimous points victory over Patricia Berghul.
