The 'Ironfist' in the velvet glove - how Tammy earned her nickname the hard way

Talking about her first bout, which took place in November last year, Tammy said: "The fight was tough, but I managed to keep my composure and stick to my game plan," Tammy said.

"After three rounds, hearing my name called as the unanimous winner was just incredible. Winning the bout was the most uplifting feeling—I felt like my nan, Stu, and John were all looking down on me, cheering me on, and I was so proud of myself."

Driven by overwhelming support from her friends, family, and hair salon clients, Tammy raised more than £2,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, earning the golden glove for top fundraiser of the night.

"Macmillan were brilliant and went above and beyond to support me," Tammy said. "They sent out loads of free merchandise, including t-shirts, wristbands, and other fundraising materials, which really helped push my fundraising."

She described her second fight night as "equally amazing as the first".

Tammy added: "I had a really tough bout this time.

I was up against my good friend, Sabrina, who I'd grown close to during training. She put up a great fight, and we were head-to-head throughout."

"In the final round, she came out on top. I'm so proud of Sabrina for her win - especially as we've become such good friends."

That night, Tammy raised just over £1,000 for Breast Cancer UK, which also earned her a second gold glove for being the top fundraiser of the evening.
