Avril Mathie, born in Australia never followed the conventional path. She got kicked out of her house when she was 16. She traveled around the world picking up bar tending gigs to support her travel habits. 

Eventually she got into beauty pageants and fitness. While running her own gym in Australia and competing in beauty pageants around the world - she started doing boxing at the gyms for fitness. Eventually she moved to the United States and started a career as a professional boxer.
