Emma Dolan has been boxing since she was nine
A Nottinghamshire boxer will be fighting a former two-time world title challenger in a fight for a Commonwealth championship. On March 25, Emma Dolan, of Newark, will be fighting Halima Vunjabei in the first ever female super flyweight Commonwealth title fight which will take place at Newark Showground.
Emma explained that due to the upcoming fight she has increased how much time she spends training as it will "make it easier for me to train harder and just give it that bit extra". She added: "This is the first time that females have got the chance to fight for the title which is really exciting."Emma said she is working hard - and while the fight will be difficult and is a great achievement in itself, it would just be "unbelievable" if she won.
"The second fight I went the full four rounds. My third fight I stepped up to six rounds and it went the distance - and my fourth fight went the distance over six rounds." In addition to sparring and completing training drills, Emma added she has "also been running more to build up my strength". "She is training hard and getting stronger all the time by training with the men. It's a big step up for Emma - the girl she is fighting against has been up for a world title and is very experienced.
