Stacey Copeland: How boxing challenges society’s view of femininity

My guest this week is Stacey Copeland. Stacey has represented her country at an international level in two sports –  football and boxing. Following a successful football career, where she represented England, played in the FA cup final, and played overseas for six years in the US and Sweden; Stacey then went on to pursue her dreams of a career in boxing.

During her six-year amateur boxing career, Stacey became European silver medallist and three-time national champion. She then turned professional and 2018 became the first British woman to win the Commonwealth title.

I’m incredibly grateful to Barclays for supporting this series of The Game Changers which will focus on fearless women in football, reinforcing Barclay’s huge commitment to the beautiful game.
