Seeking donations for upcoming boxing fight camp!

I’m Lola, an European traveler who migrated to New Zealand at 30 y.o.

This has been challenging in many ways but despite all, I have stayed true to my prayer of becoming a boxer.

Step by step I have moved toward my dream.

I have been blessed to join for the first time an amateur boxing team in Queenstown, coached by the talented Richie Hadlow.

When I decided to leave Queenstown, I have been advised to join some teams in the capital city Wellington.

After training for a little while at The Lion Pit, they offered me to fight for the first time on a corporate local event.

My first win was banked and followed by the acquisition of the much desired amateur record book!

From there my appetite for boxing only grew up and on top of my city boxing home club, I have joined the Ryan Scaife’s historical & old school boxing club to learn and train along the bests in the capital.

With them I have competed at the Golden Gloves for the first time.

Being in such a big event has been a game changer as I saw many skilful boxers competing like David Nyika, Troy Garton or Ryan Scaife himself and I understood what kind of level was required in the tournaments.

I have met over-there a really strong team called Mayhem and politely I have asked Terrence Raid Batchelor, the coach, if I could join and got answered Yes!

Joining Mayhem boxing has been the best decision I have made so far resulting in the accomplishment of becoming the National champion & the Golden Gloves champion in my category.
