Career

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]
