@ Laura Saperstein
Professional Boxer

Compared to other countries how do you rate the level of women’s boxing in the UK and is it good enough for us to have proper representation at the 2012 Olympics?

As long as they put some effort into it in between now and then, then absolutely. It takes many years to develop a sport to it’s peak, even now they’re breaking records in swimming and sprinting. It takes a long time to get to the pinnacle and women’s boxing overall will improve over the next few years. I certainly think there are enough girls in the UK to put on a very good show in 2012 especially if the powers that be get involved in putting effort into promoting it and getting the girls out actually boxing instead of just being in the gym training.
