Amy Broadhurst re-joins Great Britain squad after birth of first child

Broadhurst has already set her sights on reaching the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles as she adjusts to juggling boxing with being parenthood.

“While the initial decision to switch to Great Britain in 2024 was a bit of a whirlwind experience, I was warmly welcomed by GB Boxing and treated really well, so it is great to come back into the squad,” she said.

“Balancing boxing and being a mum definitely is challenging, but my little boy is my biggest motivation.

“I’ll be flying from Ireland to train with Team GB every week but having him with me every second week will make all the difference and keep me grounded and remind me why I am doing this.

“When I missed out on qualification last time, I was devastated, but now I see it differently. Everything happens for a reason.

“I feel strong and comfortable competing at 60kg. In the past, I was up and down with weight but this time I am focused on staying consistent.

“I am fully committed to the next two and half years now and my goal is simple. Train hard, keep improving, and do everything I can to make it to the 2028 Olympics.”
