Boxfit UK launches \u202a#\u200e<\/span>TogetherWeBox\u202c<\/span><\/a> to Support Women in Boxing<\/p>\n This year Boxfit UK have launched the campaign Together We Box to get women into boxing and support both professionals and beginners. The campaign quickly got the attention of GB boxing stars Stacey Copeland and Jade Ashmore, who were joined by Amateur athletes Lisa Whiteside, Valerian Spicer and Laura Pain as ambassadors.<\/p>\n Sport is for everyone and there\u2019s no place for gender inequality – that\u2019s the core message of this campaign. Owner Ken Mills who spearheaded #TogetherWeBox aims to raise awareness of inspirational women and role models, to have a positive impact on beginners who may be wondering if boxing caters to them.<\/p>\n Ken states: \u201cI can only see the passion behind this growing as we reach out to a wider female audience and I\u2019m so pleased with the response and feedback we\u2019ve achieved in these early stages<\/p>\n I get a lot of women coming into the shop who are dedicated and passionate and I wanted to provide a bigger platform and encouragement for all women in the sport and for those who are thinking of starting out.<\/p>\n No one should feel like they can\u2019t take up boxing; it\u2019s a universal sport\u201d.<\/p>\n With 2017 marking just twenty years of legal professional female boxing in the UK, it\u2019s an anniversary that should be full of progression and female athletes in the limelight. There\u2019s work to be done but what we\u2019re doing is celebrating everyone who boxes and has that passion.<\/p>\n How you can get involved<\/p>\n If you love to box, use the hashtag #TogetherWeBox and tag Boxfit UK on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and share your photos from the gym, training and even your journey of starting to box with the community.<\/p>\n\n
