“I can’t sleep.” Two young children would do that to any parent. But also take that into consideration, as well as training for a boxing match, promoting your first fight and making some boxing history by fighting in the same event as your husband.

That’s the task facing undefeated former Commonwealth featherweight champion Amy Andrew. On Friday, she will fight her second fight since the birth of her second child six months ago.

Andrew and her husband Numan Hussain work at the Rival boxing gym in Kings Cross. They will oppose the same bill introduced by Andrew in Spain.

“No married couple had ever boxed in the same event before,” Andrew told sky sports. “It was a carnage. To put it as politely as possible, Numan was a difficult man to deal with when he was making weight and training, and I was a difficult woman to deal with when I was making weight and training.

“This is a great opportunity. We’re all trying to achieve something in our careers and it gives us a platform to really improve ourselves and get the fight we need to advance our careers.

“So we decided to do it and it was an absolute massacre.”

For Andrew himself, returning to professional boxing so soon after giving birth to his second child is remarkable.

“I got injured and then I got pregnant, so I was out for 20 months,” she said. “I was back in the gym the same week after giving birth to my daughter. My body felt great. I’d been itching to get back in the gym.

“While most people would think having two kids is probably the right time to put on boxing boots or whatever, I just feel like I have more to contribute to the sport.”

Andrew is a top amateur boxer who is targeting a professional rematch with some of her old rivals.

“I feel like I’m getting close to where I want to be. There’s a lot of guys that I’ve beaten, or that I’ve had close fights with that I think are going to be great fights: Raven Chapman, Skye Nicolson, Karriss Artingstall, guys like that. Shannon Courtenay, I’ve boxed her and beaten her,” she said.

“I beat Raven in the ABA finals, Karriss and Skye beat me, but that’s about it. Tysie (Gallagher) I beat her in the amateurs, so it’s going to be a good fight as well. Those guys that are out there doing things, I’m excited to get a chance to fight them because I believe I’m at that level.”

But she added: “I feel like I can contribute more to the sport but the hardest thing is sleep.

“The aggressive sleep situation is definitely what makes things tough. But again, I feel lucky to be able to do something I love and it doesn’t seem to affect my boxing.”
