History was made at Shirebrook Leisure Centre in February when Worksop fighter Eleanor Coulson became the first British and Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) licensed female boxer to win a Big 4 Championship on home soil.

Eleanor secured the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Oceanic Middleweight title in a well-contested match against Australia’s Jamie Edenden, winning 99-91, 99-91, 98-92.

Robert Callum Roe (Media Sport Photography) captured the moment (above) when Eleanor received the championship belt from WBA Oceania president Ferlin Marsh — a significant milestone in her career.

The closely-fought bout was characterised by both fighters giving their all in a fast-paced, high-quality contest with Eleanor’s superior work rate and accuracy proving the difference.

Her title win also secured a guaranteed place in the WBA middleweight rankings.
