Rhys - Membership Ambassador
Hi, my name is Rhys and I am a keen amateur Boxer. I have been told that I have 6 disabilities.
Yet, I compete within boxing without any help, support or adaptations at a national level. It has been said that I am the only ‘para-disabled’ boxer in the UK that competes in mainstream boxing.
I fight both inside and out of the boxing ring for equality, inclusion and our human rights.
