Berlin-born bantamweight Zeina Nassar will make her professional debut in Pakistan on Wednesday
With a pile of notes stacked beside her, Zeina Nassar sat her parents down in their Berlin living room, ready to give a presentation on why they should let her box.
The 13-year-old - inspired by YouTube training footage of female fighters - felt an instant connection to the sport. The rhythm of the pads, the snap of the punches, the power in every movement.
"I watched it again and again," Nassar, now 27, tells BBC Sport. "I knew this is what I want to do."
So Nassar made her case like a young lawyer, pleading for her future.
