“Everyone within the boxing community makes me feel so welcome.
“And you always feel so supported with all the security and everything, but I just think every woman should embrace themselves and do whatever they want.
“Obviously, I get the odd wolf whistle, but I don’t really tend to pay too much attention to that.
“Once I’m finished, I’m just ready to get in my car and get the heater on really.”
