T-Town Boxing and Fitness in Tucson once had only a trickle of female members but now hosts a steady stream of women of all ages and backgrounds stepping into the ring, redefining strength and challenging expectations. In this story we question the rise in its popularity: is it the inclusion in the Olympics or the success of new role models like Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano? Do motivations run deeper as forms of self-defense, stress relief, physical and mental empowerment, or simply a unique community women can push themselves without judgment or limitations? One thing’s for sure, is the undeniable spirit of these women who are proving that the ring is a place for everyone to find their fight.
