Stacey's upbringing playing football for her school and club, her introduction to boxing as a teen through to the amateur boxing ranks and becoming a professional boxer. 2. Stacey's experience as the first ever British woman to win the Commonwealth female super-welterweight title in 2018 and her subsequent endeavours to drive change and promote equality for women in the sport. 3.
