About Lesley Sackey
Lesley Sackey is a former Team GB boxer and gold medallist. A trailblazer in the sport, Lesley became the first British woman to win gold at the EU Championships in 2008, and went on to represent Great Britain on the international stage.
Lesley is founder of Fight Forward, an organisation which brings women together through boxing. Motivated by her own experience of domestic abuse, Lesley set out to help other survivors reclaim their strength and voice through boxing.
Her approach is deliberately disruptive: using boxing – often seen as a violent sport – to help women who've experienced violence heal, reconnect with their bodies, and find community.
