Career

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]

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.[4]

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.[5][6]

On 7 June 2024, Reid was officially announced among the Great Britain squad for the Olympics.[7]
