Beverley Track and Fitness Boxing Club have been encouraging people to get involved over the past decade, to see how far they can go in the sport which includes both men and women. Two local girls have excelled through commitment and endeavor.
Two local female boxers, Tallulah Pulling and Lehanna Smith both 17 have transcended boundaries, competing at the highest levels and winning coveted belts, inspiring a new generation of athletes.

Tallulah has just won the National title in Open Class meaning she's the best girl in the country at her age and weight. She will be going on to represent England in the Tri-Nations Championships in June this year.
Lehanna Smith won the Development Championship this season back in October and she also boxed in the final of the Open Class and gained a silver.
Tallulah said, "Track Boxing and fitness have been fantastic in my transition from fitness to competitive boxing, over the past four years have helped with my confidence and discipline both in and out of the boxing ring, I can now look forward to developing further in the performance pathway with the England squad".
Lehanna commented, "Over the last 2 years boxing has changed me completely. Adam, Luke and all the coaches have supported me all the way. It has been amazing to have won the Boxing development Gold medal and more recently Silver in the Open Class, I have also gained a new confidence and focus, just two of the benefits of boxing at Track".
Coaches Adam and Luke said, "Winning belts not only signifies athletic prowess but also symbolises overcoming societal barriers and stereotypes. These achievements provide tangible evidence of women's capabilities in a traditionally male-dominated sport, breaking down barriers and challenging perceptions.
"Both of the girls demonstrate a path to selfdiscovery, empowerment, and purpose. The discipline and dedication required in boxing translate into focus and determination in other aspects of life, developing personal growth and confidence".
