From homeless single mother to Wonder Woman's champion boxer
Former world champion boxer Ann Wolfe makes her acting debut in the Hollywood blockbuster Wonder Woman.
During her career Wolfe held four titles in four different weight classes at the same time, becoming a world champion eight times.
But the American took on the new challenge of acting after director Patty Jenkins asked her to play the role of Amazonian warrior 'Artemis' in the newly adapted comic book flick, alongside other former athletes who were cast as an all-female army.
