“Liverpool is a great city for boxing, where people really understand the sport and I am sure they will get behind the boxers and provide great support to all of our home nation men and women. 

“The fact that this is the first ever combined world championships for men and women makes it even more special and I am sure it will be a fantastic event and a great showcase for everything that is good about the sport of boxing.   

“It shows how far the women’s sport has come and to have this event in Liverpool will be great for boxing across the city as there will be lots of activities with clubs, schools and community groups to help the sport to continue to grow and develop.”

Odel added: “Ever since it I heard this event was coming to Liverpool, this has been my number one priority.  To have the chance to compete at World Boxing Championships in my hometown would be a dream come true and I cannot wait for September to come round when I can show everyone what I am capable of.   

“This is a massive opportunity for me in the build-up to LA28 which can really get me known as one of the best boxers on the circuit at my weight and I am determined to do everything I can to make sure I take it. All of the boxers in the GB squad are excited about having this even on home soil and it is the main focus of everyone in the gym for this year.”
