Laura's glad to be back

Laura Saperstein will make her long-awaited return to a UK ring in March.

Having spent the past nine months training and fighting in Thailand, Saperstein has recently opened her own design business in boxingwear.

She will be back in the ring at the York Hall in Bethnal Green on March 22, where she will fight against a yet-to-be-named opponent, having recently signed up with Miranda Carter, England’s only female boxing promoter.

The former lawyer went to the Far East last year following an acrimonious split with her promoter Frank Maloney, but she is happy to be back. “It’s a relief,” she said. “I’ve been working so hard with the training and the business on the side, it’s usually seven days a week.”
