Evie Leigh Kempson

I’m Evie Kempson, I’m 17 years old and I box out of Hall Green ABC. I stared boxing as an energetic 8 year old girl who was constantly in trouble, I began my journey at Frankie Gavins Ringside ABC, where I instantly fell in love with the sport and trained at for 2 years before I had my first skills bout, I had 6 skills bout at 25kg for Acocks Green ABC (formally Frankie Gavins Ringside ABC), after that I lost my first 2 bouts by close 3-2 split decisions, this caused me to lose all my confidence and began to lose my love for the sport. Because of this I made the decision to move to Hall Green ABC, after the move I won my first 4 fights for the club my unanimous decision, narrowly missing out in the schools semifinal by a 3-2 split decision, this reignited my love for the sport and only inspired me to train harder. With the help of my coaches and support of my club and family I am now 7x midlands champion, 2x national champion at 50kg and I was also an England representative for the 24/25 season. I am looking forward to the season ahead of me hopefully getting some box cups in and going for my 3rd national title in November this year in the NABGC’s 🙏
