About Paige Robinson

I have been boxing since I was 10, and I have always loved playing sports. Before boxing I played tennis and touch footy. I really like music and camping, although I hardly ever go camping!

To hopefully win gold at these Championships and also at the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.
