We've noticed a recent surge in the fairer sex taking an interest in the art of pugilism. We recently posted news here on The Saint's Blog about the Boodles Boxing Ball where Princes William and Harry and their girlfriends had a great evening raising money for the charity Starlight Children's Foundation. The bill that night featured two Lady boxers - 'Bam-Bam' Bronwen Foster-Butler vs Alotta 'Carlotta' Newbury. These girls are far from most people's idea of what a female boxer might be - Foster-Butler runs Blue-Stocking Model Management and Newbury is reported in the Daily Telegraph as being a Swiss-born Housewife!
Gemma Brodie, a female boxer from Scotland, has recently featured on the BBC Sports website. Click here to view a BBC video of Brodie.
Websites such as Boxergirl cater for women all over the UK who are interested in boxing - providing useful information about fitness and training, where to find a good boxing gym, tournaments that are open to women, nutritional tips, advice and support.
So here's a cheer of support, from The Saint's HQ, for female boxers everywhere!
