The FightPost Ten: Nicola Hopewell

First Ever Memory:

Knocking my tooth out on the radiator when I was two years old. I had heard the ice cream van and climbed onto the sofa, but I fell.

First Ever Boxing Memory:

Winning my first amateur fight and stopping the girl in the 3rd round.

What Has Boxing Given You:

Dreams and goals to achieve.

Where Would You Be Without Boxing:

Working a full-time job with no goals or dreams.

Biggest Regret In Life:

Not boxing earlier in life and not turning professional with the British Boxing Board of Control earlier.

The Thing You Are Most Proud Of:

Standing up for myself and moving away from my old gym to pursue my boxing dreams.

Who Inspires You The Most & Why:

In boxing Katie Taylor. She’s the woman in boxing we all look up to. She sells out main events and has had so many achievements.

Where’s Your Happy Place:

Either in the gym or somewhere like the Peak District.

What One Thing Would You Change To Make The Sport Better:

Equal opportunities, more boxing shows. I want an active 2024, and everyone seems to be getting fight dates, but I’m still waiting.

How Do You See Your Life After Boxing:

I’d love to be part of the sport, probably a trainer, or use my sports massage therapy to treat boxers.
