Massive congratulations to former Arena Boxing Club Bournemouth boxer Raven Chapman on becoming the WBC International Featherweight champion.
Raven is not only a world-class boxer, she is also a world-class role model for all aspiring young boxers, both male and female. She is living proof that hard work, determination, and a relentless focus on continual improvement will bring rewards.
Like all aspiring boxers and athletes, she has had her ups and downs. She has had moments of heartache and disappointment, but she never lost faith, she was never prepared to give up her dream.
We are extremely proud of Raven.
Not just because she has proved herself at the highest levels of the sport but because she has done it in the right way. She is loyal to those that have been loyal to her and she always has time and words of encouragement for the next generation of girls coming up under her.
She’s a true champion in and out of the ring.
