Tori-Ellis Willetts: “Discipline and desire to be great.”

The FightPost Ten: Tori-Ellis Willetts

First Ever Memory:

Always having amazing family holidays with my four siblings.

First Ever Boxing Memory:

Winning the Elite Nationals as the underdog beating all seeded fighters.

What Has Boxing Given You:

Discipline and desire to be great.

Where Would You Be Without Boxing:

Probably competing in another sport at a high level. I was a really sporty kid and loved to play every sport going.

Biggest Regret In Life:

Switching from kickboxing to boxing so late. It would be interesting to see what more I could have achieved if I had switched earlier.

The Thing You Are Most Proud Of:

Fighting for my country as a serving soldier and as a fighter for Great Britain.

Who Inspires You The Most & Why:

Outside of boxing, my parents. They live a luxurious life, but they have worked hard for it. It rubs off on me, and I work harder than anyone.

In boxing, Katie Taylor. Her legacy for females is incredible, and I’d like to follow the same path.

Where’s Your Happy Place:

On holidays in the sunshine

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

Rules that people can’t avoid people. If there are two top fighters, then the fights should happen.

How Do You See Your Life After Boxing:

I’d like to become a female professional boxing coach. Also, have a place abroad in a hot country to spend the winter months in.
