London's Sharran Alexander, has been named the Heaviest Sportswoman by the Guinness World Records.

Standing at six feet tall and weighing 203.21 kg (32 stone), the 47-year-old mother of three is Britain’s only female sumo wrestler.

"I'm not really an aggressive person, but I love the sport. And you probably need a little bit more aggression, but hey, I'm in there, I'm 47-years-old and I'm still knocking down some women, so no problem with that," Sharran said.

The child minder only got into sumo wrestling six years ago and did so well she was invited to join the British Sumo Team.

Since then she has won medals across the globe and will be travelling to Japan next January to train with the Japanese women’s sumo team.
