🧤 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦 🧤

Coach Sara Jalonen — WBA Oceania Featherweight Champion 🏆

“𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩.” 👆

Worth noting who’s saying it. Earlier this month, Sara
returned to the ring after more than a year out and
stopped India’s Sushila Virat in Round 3 to claim the
vacant WBA Oceania Featherweight title.

The biggest barrier to boxing isn’t fitness. It’s fear.
And for a lot of women, it’s walking into a room and
wondering if they’ll be the only one.

Sara has trained with mostly male partners for years and
never had a problem. Early on, some were too careful with
her. She appreciated it. But she wanted more:

“𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙖 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩.
𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣.”

That’s respect. That’s the culture.

Everybody knows your name. People help each other out.
Training partners become actual friends. It’s the
opposite of the big-box gym where you don’t know anyone,
and don’t really want to.

Whoever you are, there’s a place for you here.

Your first week is on us.

Always late to the grid of late…
BUT- Better late than never!!

Got to watch 2 of my best boxing girl pals kill it a couple of weeks ago!!
Both took out the WBA Oceania Titles in separate weight divisions!

So cool to have some of our other long time boxing girls ringside altogether!!!

From the Amateurs to the Pro’s and everything in between!!! 🥊🥊🥊 @saramej @skyefalzon @shanelldargan @_jessmessina by @saramej

OKAY WE’RE BACK

A year out but finally got back in the ring last Friday night.. Job done with a 3rd round stoppage.

Onto the next🤞🏼
Fingers crossed I get another opportunity before the end of the year, I’m ready to get busy.

But first, a big thank you to the people in my corner:

@boxing_coach_ayo you took over coaching for this camp and brought a different approach, plenty of new tools and a fresh perspective. We got some work to do 👊🏼

@arnel.barotillo — the one and only. My hand wraps, my coach for years, and someone who knows this game inside & out. 🥊

And a special mention @chychuawiwat — always there, always ready to help. Appreciate you.

And to everyone who came out and showed up for me — thank you. 🩷🩵
The support was felt and appreciated.

Back in the ring. Back to work. 👊🏼
