Outside the ring, Peter shared his wealth of experience and knowledge to educate Marshall on the politics of the sport.
“In my first camp I was telling him I’m going to Mayweather Promotions and going to live in America,” she recalls. “Every now and again he would say, ‘you just look after yourself out there because this pro game is not what it seems’.
“For weeks he kept mentioning it and drilling it into me. At the time I was thinking, ‘ah well, just wait until I get to America, you’ll see’ – but I learnt that professional boxing is a dirty business and sometimes it’s not just about the actual sport.”
Marshall has also formed a close friendship with Hughie and now “feels part of the Fury family”. She has also gained a better understanding of the oft-misjudged and mistreated traveller community.
“Because of their travelling background I was a little surprised when he first asked me to come down,” she says.
“You hear stories of those from traveller backgrounds, that the women don’t participate in sports. But he was such a lovely man from the off.
“It goes to show how you can easily judge. Since I first met Peter, he’s been nothing but nice and accepting. He’s never once shown any dislike to female boxing.
“Even Peter’s wife, daughter and other sons have made me feel welcome. I feel blessed that my paths have crossed with Peter and I have been able to experience a whole different culture.”
