Chantelle Reid (born 31 May 1998) is an English amateur boxer. She has been selected to represent Great Britain at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
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.[4][8][9][10]
