Women’s boxing has been on a relentless journey, from near invisibility to a global force in combat sports. Today, with trailblazers like Katie Taylor, Claressa Shields, Natasha Jonas, and Chantelle Cameron leading the charge, the sport is gaining recognition, headlines, and fan excitement. But the question remains: Is women’s boxing truly getting the respect it deserves, or are female fighters still fighting for relevance in a sport long dominated by men?

In the heart of countless towns and cities across the UK, amateur boxing gyms provide more than just a place to train—they act as pillars of support, discipline, and community. With more than 1,500 amateur boxing clubs scattered throughout the UK, these gyms offer spaces where young people can learn discipline, respect, and resilience. Yet, despite the enormous value they bring, these gyms often struggle to stay afloat, and Chris Webb MP recently raised the issue in the House of Commons, calling for greater government support. 

Ever since Rio 2016 when professional boxers were allowed to compete in the Olympics for the first time, question marks have constantly surrounded the decision.

The Olympics FINALLY kick off in France this week and having previously selected one male fighter from each category to follow at Paris 2024, now we turn our attention to the females.

The full daily schedule for the Paris 2024 Olympics boxing tournament is now live.

The most highly anticipated two weeks of 2024 for amateur boxing is nearly upon us as the world’s best descend on Paris in their bid to claim Olympic gold.
