Why take up boxing?
It’s something I’ve always been interested in. I also find it very therapeutic and really enjoy the fitness side of getting into it.
Who inspires you?
I draw inspiration from life. I’m really lucky to know such a large network of amazing people and to be surrounded by positive energy on a daily basis is a huge help. It’s very much about making the most of what you have and I think that’s the key to my inspiration.
What’s harder – fighting in the ring or in the corporate world?
They both have their challenges, physically boxing is one hell of a sport, I honestly take my hat off to the athletes who compete regularly. It’s extremely grueling on the body and a lot more of a challenge than I expected.
Beauty, brains and brawn – what’s next for you?
The world! Haha, seriously, I go with the flow and just enjoy life. I’m in a good place mentally, so who really knows where it could lead – anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
