THIS woman was born WITHOUT A LEG and she spent years too afraid to work out in front of others because of her disability, until discovering BOXING and establishing a genuine talent for the sport which has seen her confidence soar.

Operations director, Amy Bream (27) from Pennsylvania, USA, was born with a proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD), meaning she was born without a right leg. Her parents had no idea that their daughter had the deficiency and were incredibly shocked when Amy was born.


Throughout her childhood, Amy’s parents encouraged her not to be deterred by her limb deficiency and she was already learning to walk in her first prosthetic leg at just a year old. From a young age, Amy learnt not to see her prosthetic as a hinderance and refused to see it as an excuse not to achieve something.


Unfortunately, as Amy grew older, she became more self-conscious of her body which led her to be reluctant to train in public. During school, Amy hated PE classes, as she assumed she wouldn’t be very good.

Amy’s lack of self-confidence affected how she interacted with men because she assumed most of them wouldn’t find her attractive due to her limb deficiency. Amy shied away from the gym and she didn’t want to ask her physiotherapist about different kind of prosthetics designed for sports as she couldn’t see beyond her disability.
