Book IWD Speaker: Amy Pu

First & only female professional boxing referee in the UK, The Boxing Life Coach, the host of We Know The Rules podcast

Amy Pu is The Boxing Life Coach, the host of We Know the Rules podcast and the first and currently the only female professional boxing referee in the UK.

Originally from Taiwan, Amy found her life started to transform after she took up boxing in her early 30s in London. What she had learnt during the time, from how training built the mindset, competitions broke down the ego, to how boxing postures and movements helped shape the mentality, inspired and boosted her to come out of her own shell and launched her coaching service in 2022. She now works with women, through 1-1s and workshops, and supports them to have the courage to find their voice, stand their ground and hold their own space.

After retiring from competitions, Amy would continue to be active in boxing as a judge and referee, first in the amateur code and in 2024, she stepped into the professional ring and became the first ever female professional boxing referee in the UK. She recognised the lack of representation of women in officiating capacities across sports in the world and was keen to meet as many like her as possible. She created We Know The Rules podcast to provide the space for the women to share their stories and personal journeys and to inspire others to pursue their own chosen paths.

Amy has spoken in various events with themes such as DEI, women in sports, self-care and wellbeing in a workplace.
