Glynn’s resilience was put to the test again in the summer of 2022 when she was told she had not been selected for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, just an hour away from where she grew up in Hockley Heath.

Glynn was told she could train at home or join Team GB as an unpaid athlete.

She took the second option and within two months performance director of GB Boxing Rob McCracken fast-tracked her on to the coveted podium team.

Last year she won best newcomer at the 2023 GB Boxing Awards.

“I’ve only been on the programme for a year,” Glynn said. “I got bypassed straight on to the podium squad.

“Rob saw something in me and put me straight on to the top.”

McCracken helped unearth the likes of two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua. At the Tokyo Olympics, Team GB walked away with six medals, including two golds – their best tally in 101 years.

Glynn hopes to join Delicious Orie, Charley Davison and Rosie Eccles in securing a spot at the Paris Games this summer.

“I’m 22 years old but I know I can definitely go forward and get to Paris,” she said.

“It would absolutely massive to be able to get to the Olympic Games and qualify. I would cry and feel over the moon.

“Everything I’ve gone through, I’ve had so many setbacks in my career but it’s just pushed me on.

“I feel like this is the year I can truly shine and show what I’m capable of.”
