Number Plate Stories

Boxing B1 TCH

Keen to promote her sporting name, Cathy thought from the very beginning that a good way of doing this was with a personal number plate. When she was offered B17 CHX, she was delighted. “The plate is on my red Hyundai Coupe at the moment. It looks great! When people see my number, they know it’s me driving past – it’s excellent for self-promotion.”

Always looking to broaden her horizons, Cathy is looking to clinch more TV work. She has appeared on several shows over the years but in November 2005, she was the subject of a BBC documentary ‘The Challenge’ in which she had to learn to sail in just five months before embarking on a challenging race across the Atlantic Ocean in a yacht. The programme focused on her physical and mental journey through the gruelling training and subsequent attempt at the transatlantic speed record. Cathy has also appeared in the BBC 2 programme with Sir David Frost, Through the Keyhole, where a panel of celebrities guess who owns the house shown to them, from a set of clues.

“My main goal for this year is to present an Extreme Sports show on TV. My agent is working on that for me right now.”

Cathy’s latest boxing appearance was in a European Boxing Union (EBU) title fight at Hammersmith Palace on February 25, 2006.
