It's all over for one of the best MuayThai fighters around - last night Caley Reece of Riddler's Gy,m in Perth defended her world title and retired.

Reece with a record of 38 wins from 43 fights is one of the women redefining what women's boxing means. It's not enough anymore to just fight, you have to be good, really good. And that has been so exciting to watch.

I'm sad she's retired (yes, cause it makes me feel old now when I think of all the people I trained with and know most of them are gone now along with my lazy ass) but she's going to be a great trainer. And I'm sure we will see many more women coming out of Western Australia inspired by her.
