A Florida boxer has her eyes set on the Summer Olympic Games next year in London.

Ishika Lay wants to be one of three U. S. women to head to London next year where, for the first time, women’s boxing will be an Olympic event. Lay is getting ready for an October tournament in Ohio.

If she wins in her 132 pound weight class, then she’ll go to the Olympic Box-offs in February. A win there will send her to the Games.

Lay trains up to three times a day at Headstrong Gym in Jacksonville Beach. She works the heavy bag, speed bag and her sparring partners are men. Her strategy in the ring, perhaps?
