After a very tough and intense semifinal against Aoife O`Rourke, Grand Prix - Usti Nad Labem ended here for Sunniva. A close and even fight where Aofie was slightly ahaed. Split decision 4-1, Sunniva still hasn`t lost a fight unanimous.
Sunniva is taking huge steps everytime she is in the ring, and we can`t wait to be back...
After two wins on stopp in the second round we are stepping up the game today as we meet the European Champio Aofie O'`Rourke from Ireland. She won a tough battle against Germany yesterday.
The girls have been sparring a few times before in Ireland, so we know this is going to be a real test for Sunniva....
Tonight Sunniva is boxing against the Lithuenian World Champ Gaberiele Stonkute on a galla in Marijampole, Lithuenia. We took the match on a short notice, and we know we are far away from home, but we love to fight, and we always want to meet the best. Where and when doesn`t matter, we are not afraid not loose. We...
Unfortunately it didn`t go as planned, but a good experience that we have learned a lot from. We had a great camp in Canada, and we went straight to Finland to box on the highest level. Almost three weeks "on the road" together with great people.
Now back to the gym!

Last sunday we had our only day off during...
On the coldest and windiest day so far her in Montreal, Canada, we had our first rounds of free sparring today. Sunniva was doing four rounds with the World Champion Tammara Thiboult. It is this kind of sparring that we need to establish ourselves at the top of the world. Tammara has a long range, is southpaw and is...
We are two days into our two weeks long stay in Canada, and things are going very well. Today Sunniva had six rounds of task sparring with Tammara, and they worked very good together. Some well known tasks, and some well known tasks with a litle twist. Nice to see how things can be done differently. People are vey...
A couple of weeks ago we received a surprising, but nice, request from the Canadian Boxing Association. They wondered if we wanted to come to Canada to train with their World Champion Tammara Thibault. We didn't have to think twice before saying yes, and here we are!
After a very long trip with some problems along...
