On one of the coaching courses i went on there were 3 women on it and all 3 had boxed for England. Stacey Copeland from Manchester, Lisa Whitehead from Preston and a girl from Bury.
I couldn't believe it when i first went to shows as a coach as some who boxed back in the day are still involved.
Stacey Copelands dad was an ABA champ when i boxed and I'd boxed Lisa Whiteheads coach.
Lots more clubs have mixed fitness evenings and people who just want to get fit. Back in the 60's/70's/80's it was all about competing.
Happy days eh?? It's great chatting to other ex boxers.
Ps. If you sparred 10 rounds you must be in OK nick. Well done.
