Growing up Rachael played lots of different sports and at school she represented her County in hockey, netball and cross-country.
During her university years, her housemate convinced her to try a Thai boxing class, and she found herself loving it, using it as a means to stay fit for hockey. Though she trained sporadically for the next 3-4 years, it wasn’t until her time at Bradford Thai Boxing that she grew tired of being sidelined as the only female and demanded to fight.
Her debut match came just a week later at Leeds Town Hall, facing off against a seasoned opponent. Despite losing on points, she found herself captivated by the sport. From then on, she embarked on a journey that saw her defeat the British, European, and World Champions, ultimately claiming the No.1 spot in the World Rankings.
In 2006, Rachael soared to the top of the Women’s Thai-Boxing World Rankings in both the 50kg and 52kg categories, a testament to her unwavering determination and relentless hard work.
Following a setback due to a knee injury, Rachael transitioned from Thai-boxing to boxing, where she clinched the silver at the National Championships in her inaugural season. Her achievements continued as she secured silver in the ABA Elite Boxing Championships in 2016 and earned the opportunity to represent England, ultimately becoming the British Boxing Champion.
