In this bumper episode, JJ Shaw and Alex Kelham are joined by two trailblazers from the world of women’s sport – Hannah Rankin (reigning WBA and IBO super-welterweight world boxing champion) and Reema Juffali (Saudi Arabia’s first female professional racing driver).
Hannah and Reema discuss their experience as women in traditionally ‘male-dominated’ sports; how their respective backgrounds have influenced their careers so far; and how they aim to continue changing the attitudes towards women in sport for future generations. We explore the key step-changes required in order to elevate women’s sport when compared to men’s sport, as well as the benefits of boxing and racing on mental health.
