Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

Ramla Ali is a triple threat - humanitarian, model and boxer. Her life inside and outside the ring represents her ruthless refusal to quit and passion to fight for what she believes in.

In her first book, Ramla details ten key fights - a combination of life's constant challenges and real bouts she's endured both in and outside of the ring - that have shaped her remarkable rise to date.

From her arrival in England as a refugee to being drawn to the energy and spirit of her first boxercise class; from the adrenaline of her first amateur fights to how she often powered on alone, searching for a community of women like her, and her biggest win of all: letting love into her life.

Each relatable lesson is packed full of honesty and urgency, powering the reader on to become their own champion.

'A force for good ... Ali is tough, self-possessed, funny and unafraid to tell it how it is' FINANCIAL TIMES

'Ali radiates energy ... her ruthless refusal to quit has propelled her to the top of the sporting and fashion world' TELEGRAPH

'Is there anything Somali-born boxing champion Ramla Ali can't do?' VOGUE

'Here is a woman so determined and driven to meet her goals, 'hero' doesn't seem inappropriate' STYLIST

'Ramla Ali is an unstoppable force' ELLE

It motivated me to do more sport and be a better champion for others' causes. Good autobiographical format, with tips and advice at the end of each chapter. Thanks for sharing your story Ramla! Great to read another Merky books book too.......more

Goodreads review by Vera on November 08, 2024

Admired the tenacity of Ramla, to go for what makes HER happy, even against the odds & family. To be a role model for other girls, show what they also can achieve, to be defined by their self beliefs, not by what is expected of them. Would be great if more girls could read this, to inspire them.......more
