The 27-year-old mother-of-three, who trained at Attleborough Boxing Club, began boxing when she was eight years old in her hometown of Lowestoft, initially training with her father on pads at home.

She took a break from the sport aged 19 to start her family and, seven years later, returned to the ring, qualifying for the GB Boxing team.

Throughout Charley's Olympic journey, the Lowestoft community have been firmly behind her with 'Team Charley Davison' posters popping up around the town and many posting messages of support on social media.

Charley will soon return home from Tokyo to her proud family and three young children.
