By:
Former Team GB boxer and European gold medalist Lesley Sackey and founder of Fight Forward, talks about her journey to success which is a powerful testament to resilience, reinvention, and purpose. Lesley shared her unconventional path into boxing, discovering the sport in her twenties and quickly rising to elite level despite early setbacks. Through boxing, she developed a deep understanding of discipline, adaptability, and the power of mindset, lessons that would later shape her life beyond the ring.
Behind her professional success, Lesley navigated personal challenges and this experience became the catalyst for founding Fight Forward, a social enterprise that uses boxing to support women recovering from abusive relationships, helping them rebuild confidence, reconnect with their bodies, and move from survival to thriving.
Lesley also discusses her entrepreneurial drive and her latest venture, Pillow, a digital platform designed to provide tailored support and resources for women post-crisis. Throughout the conversation, she reflects on leadership, risk-taking, and the importance of purpose, emphasising that true resilience lies not just in getting back up, but in trusting yourself to find a way forward.
