Career

[edit]

Reid won a gold medal at the 2014 European Junior Boxing Championship and bronze a year later at the World Youth Championship before a back injury forced her to quit the sport for six years.[3][4]

Upon returning to the ring she claimed an England Boxing National Amateur Championships title in 2023 and was subsequently awarded a place on the GB Boxing podium squad.[5]

In March 2024, Reid secured a quota spot for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris when she defeated Uzbekistan's Aziza Zokirova by unanimous decision in the quarter-finals at the World Qualification Tournament 1 in Busto Arsizio, Italy.[6][7]

On 7 June 2024, Reid was officially announced among the Great Britain squad for the Olympics as the country's entrant in the women's 75kg division.[4][8][9] She was drawn to fight 2023 IBA World champion Khadija Mardi from Morocco in the first round[10][11] and lost on a 3:2 split decision.[12][13]

Reid was chosen to represent England in the 70kg division at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in Liverpool.[14] In her opening bout she defeated Morgan Henderson from New Zealand by unanimous decision,[15] before overcoming Poland’s Barbara Marcinkowska via split decision in the second round.[16][17] Reid beat Chinese boxer Mengge Zhang by unanimous decision in the quarter-finals.[18][19] She lost to Kazakhstan's Natalya Bogdanova via 3:2 split decision in the semi-finals and was therefore awarded a bronze medal.[20]
