A Belfast catwalk model and former Bond girl has swapped ingenious gadgets and secret agent glamour for a pair of boxing gloves to get behind an upcoming women’s only kickboxing event.
Deborah Hanna, who starred in spy classic ‘A View To A Kill’ alongside Roger Moore and Grace Jones, has joined the growing list of women who have turned to kickboxing to get fit. She has signed up with the ProKick Gym in east Belfast – and has immediately shown her support for the Ladykillers show.

The event, on October 30 at Belfast’s Holiday Inn, will see a selection of the best female kickboxers from Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Germany and Bulgaria take to the ring.
“It’s going to be an incredible show – I can’t wait for it,” said the Belfast stunner – who recently returned home after several years living in London. “Kickboxing is a brilliant way to get in shape. I noticed the trend for women to get involved in the sport when I lived away and I wanted to try it myself. ProKick is just the best place - nowhere else would I get the opportunity to train with world champion Billy Murray.





“On the set of Bond, there was certainly a lot of physical action, though I stayed out of it myself. But if I keep up this level of training maybe I could compete with Uma Thurman for a part in the next Kill Bill!"

Tickets for The Ladykillers show – which will include 10 high-octane bouts - are on-sale from the ProKick 24 hour hotline 02890 651074 now.
