When an injury left Claire Quinn searching for a new form of exercise, her dad recommended one of his favorite sports - boxing.

It didn't take long before she was hooked, and started turning heads with her rapidly improving skills. She went on to become a Golden Gloves boxer, winning most of her fights by TKO, and losing only once in her first seven matches.
