Wales' double Olympic taekwondo champion Jade Jones is switching sports and has taken up boxing.
The 31-year-old says she is "dreaming big" as she intends to become a two-sport world champion.
Jones has been boxing for two months and is training with former professional boxer Stephen Smith in a move she believes is unprecedented as she eyes a career in the paid ranks.
"It is nerve-wracking. Some days I wake up and think 'am I absolutely crazy?'" Jones told BBC Breakfast.
"I am loving it. I love taekwondo, it will always be my first love. But this is an exciting challenge. I've only been doing it for two months."
