The Rotary Club of Bolsover is very proud to have supported a young and talented female boxer called Jade Ashmore over the last few years. We have watched her mature into a leading female boxer in the UK, and she visited the Club to update us on her latest achievements.
She won the UK Elite Title in 2016 and became the first woman ever to hold 2 Regional belts and the National belt at the same time. She is number 2 in the UK at her weight of 51kg after Lisa Whiteside, and has Lisa firmly in her sights.
She has now been selected for the Great Britain Boxing Team and should be in the squad for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
We will continue our contact with Jade and we wish her every success as she sets out on her international career.
