She got involved in the sport as a teenager to give herself some discipline. "Basically to get myself out of trouble, because I was heading down that wrong way and I haven't looked back since. It's been great for me. Every time I win a medal, I feel like I'm making up for everything that I put my parents through. They're the first people that I ring when I step out of the ring."
