It’s just a year on from her competitive boxing debut, and comes after a series of highly competitive bouts against civilian opponents. A member of RAF Lossiemouth’s RAF Police Flight, Jennifer, 26, started boxing with RAF Lossiemouth Boxing Club in 2022.

However, she only boxed competitively for the first time in October 2023. She was crowned champion at the EBNDC final on October 20. The bout - against an opponent from Northside ABC, Manchester - was stopped in the second round (pictured). The RAF last won a national boxing title in 2015.
