Professional boxer Stacey Copeland has received huge praise following her Tedx talk in Manchester.

Stacey, from Hyde, was the first British woman to win the Commonwealth title in 2018.

As well as balancing her time between training in the ring and delivering motivational speeches, Stacey has also founded the Pave The Way project to fight for gender equality.

Stacey, who is a Sports Tours International Ambassador, also represents the Running Bee Foundation, which aims to tackle childhood obesity amongst other things. She is regularly seen at local events in Tameside offering support and guidance, including the globally renowned Tour of Tameside.
