Former WBA Bantamweight World Champion & Pro Project Promotions Ambassador

Boxing Gave Me Belief – Now I Want to Pass That On

“Boxing changed my life in ways I never expected. I started later than most, but I believed in myself, put in the work, and became world champion. That journey taught me that it’s never too late to back yourself and that’s a message I want to share with others, especially women and young girls who might not see themselves represented in sport.

Being part of Pro Project Promotions means a lot to me because it’s not just about events, it’s about people. It’s about helping others find confidence, feel supported, and be part of something positive. Whether we’re raising money for a good cause or giving ex-athletes a reason to stay motivated, it all matters. I’m proud to stand alongside people who care and to be part of a team that’s using sport to lift others up.”
