Don’t be fooled by her stature
Enid Whitfield has one of the most fearsome right hooks from any boxer that Liverpool has ever seen
The Halewood Slugger was a hero of mine growing up. A true inspiration
I have never seen such a display of skill, than that of Tippy-Toes Thomas. A real hard boxer
Enid is an absolute legend. I always aspired to be the boxer she was in her day.
As a kid, I remember watching Tippy Toes. I remember the day she won against 4 male boxers, using just one hand She was an amazing boxer.
