Sophia in Class 3 is proud to share her recent news with our families and has shared her news by writing a report.

I box at Selby Boxing Academy and have been going for almost one year.  I wanted to go to keep my stamina up which will help with my swimming.  I went to the Beginner Class for a month before my coach moved me to the Adult Class, which includes sparring.

Recently, I was supposed to have a boxing match against a girl in my first bout but she dropped out, so I ended up boxing against a boy instead.  I was nervous but my Dad said “If you don’t show it, they don’t know it” which made me feel better.  I had three, one-minute rounds and knocked my opponent over in the first round.  My next home event is a bout near Riccall and I can’t wait and I will get my own boxing kit for it!
