Anna Whitwham

Anna Whitwham is a British boxer and writer who turned to boxing as a means of coping with the grief of losing her mother to cancer. Through her experiences in the ring, she transformed her pain and anger into strength, finding empowerment and healing after a tumultuous past marked by self-harm and struggles with identity. Her debut book, 'Soft Tissue Damage,' explores the intersection of femininity and violence, and how boxing helped her reclaim her body and spirit.
