Erin Tynan

I’m Erin Tynan, I box out of Holmes Chapel Boxing Club. When I first started training I was 85kg I’ve since lost nearly 35kg and now compete anywhere from 51-54kg. Not only was i overweight but I found myself getting into trouble and falling with the wrong crowd. I was struggling with my adhd, controlling impulsive decisions and regulating my emotions. I started boxing just for a bit of a laugh but I quickly got addicted to the thrill and the adrenaline you get from fighting, there’s no sport like it and that feeling of stepping into the ring is second to none. In the space of 3 years I’ve had a massive journey, I won my first fight by stoppage but then went on and lost 10 in a row, I stuck it out and believed in myself and the Lord. I most recently won Manchester box cup in the elite u54 category, that shows that as long as you have faith and work hard things will come together regardless of where you started or even where you are now. There is no stopping you if you put a graft in and truly have self belief. I’m continuing to better myself everyday and I want to see how far I can take this, I truly believe a world title is in reach for my future.
