Meet Sabba, England qualified boxing coach

Sabba’s story will take you on a colourful rollercoaster. 

Born in the 1970’s, her family’s experiences of racism, her father getting into difficulties through crime and fighting.  All of that surrounded Sabba as she grew up. They moved house numerous times between Bolton, High Wycombe and Slough and then to Canada. Sabba thought that her only way to survive was to fight and she quickly developed a reputation for fighting her way through life, getting expelled from school and then feeling she had no other way but to live up to that image she had created about herself. 

She shares some examples of things that happened when she moved back to the UK and eventually she brings us to the present day where she is now a single Mum of 4 children, 46 years old and a qualified England boxing coach. She now trains children and women in boxing and wants that to be the life she lives full time.  It is a story of resilience, of hope, hard work, of never giving up and of sheer grit and determination that will resonate with people in so many different ways. Thank you to Sabba for sharing her story in such an honest and generous way.
