Meet the Fighters: Adrianne Phebey
A personal story from Adrianne, a boxer. In boxing, the general thought process is “the lighter you can get; the better”. As a short but unfortunately “ heavy-boned” female boxer, I was often told that I wasn’t very strong and that I would be much more successful at 60kg (some even saying 57kg) as opposed to the 64kg I would box at. It sounded sensible and I, like most boxers keen not to leave any stone unturned, was up for the challenge.

Here is the context to my lost (and subsequently found!) period.
