On 20th December, I’ll be stepping into the boxing ring for the very first time. Just five weeks ago, I had absolutely no boxing experience—no background, no comfort zone, just a challenge that scared me and a reason that means everything to me.

Not because it was easy.

But because this fight is about something far bigger than me.

my family’s world was turned upside down when my sister passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. There was no warning, no time to prepare, and no chance to say goodbye. One moment she was here, and the next she was gone. The shock and heartbreak of losing her so unexpectedly has hit our family harder than words can describe.

The pain of that loss stays with me every day. Training has been physically exhausting, but nothing compares to the emotional weight of grieving someone you love so deeply. This fight has become a way for me to channel that grief into something meaningful, to honour her memory, and to create something positive from something so devastating.

I’m fighting in memory of my sister, and I’m doing this to raise as much money as possible to help her children & grandchild have the Christmas they deserve. This isn’t just a boxing match—it’s five weeks of discipline, sacrifice, and determination, driven by love, memory, and the hope of making a real difference.

Every punch I throw and every round I survive is for her—and for these children. Boxing doesn’t come naturally to me, but this fight isn’t really about boxing. It’s about pushing past fear, turning pain into purpose, and standing up when life has knocked you down.

Christmas can be a magical time, but for many children it’s incredibly hard. With your support, we can help five young lives this Christmas.

If you’re able to donate—no matter how small—it would mean the world to me. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page helps just as much.

Thank you for supporting me, remembering my sister, and helping turn this fight into something truly meaningful.
