Amy Broadhurst: The former world champion rejoins the Great Britain squad after giving birth to her first child

Broadhurst has already set her sights on reaching the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and is adjusting to juggling boxing and being a mother.

“Although the initial decision to move to Great Britain in 2024 was a somewhat whirlwind experience, I have been warmly welcomed by BGB Boxing and treated really well, so it is great to be back in the team,” she said.

“Balancing boxing with being a mum is definitely a challenge, but my little boy is my biggest motivation. “I’ll be flying from Ireland to Britain every week, but having him with me every two weeks will make a huge difference and keeps me grounded and reminds me why I’m doing this.

“When I missed out on qualifying last time, I was devastated, but now I see it differently. Everything happens for a reason. I feel strong and comfortable competing in the 60kg category. In the past, I would go up and down with the weight but this time I am focusing on maintaining consistency.

He added: “I am fully committed to the next two and a half years and my goal is simple. Train hard, keep improving, and do everything I can to reach the 2028 Olympics.”
