Jones’ next taste of boxing will come on 13 June when she takes on Argentine influencer Federikita on another Misfits bill that also includes Tommy Fury and strongman Eddie Hall.

Jones – who took gold at the 2019 Taekwondo World Championships to add to her Olympic titles – has previously spoken of a desire to reach the top in her new sport.

But she says she also wants to enjoy the new experiences rather than get burdened by the pressures that she found after success in her previous sporting life.

“Since the day I won my first Olympics, I’ve had pressure on me and it’s never been the same since,” she says. “You’re never that young, underdog kid again.

“I did think that switching sports meant I got to start again, but you realise you’ll always be an Olympic champion with those pressures on you.

“The mistakes I made in taekwondo I felt it was everyone else putting pressure on, but really it was me doing it to myself.”

She says she now realises all that matters is what she does and where she wants to take it.

“I have to pull myself back sometimes because although I am one-tracked minded, and all-in to boxing now and wanting to be the best, I came into this wanting a new challenge and wanting to enjoy it and to see where it goes,” she adds.

“I’ve not set any sights that far.”

More information, advice and help on ADHD is available on BBC Action Line.
