Alexis Pritchard: 'Boxing is a positive sport'
New Zealand boxer, Alexis Pritchard, says she'd still like to see more girls take up boxing as a sport.
For the first time in its 84 year history, women are able to compete in Boxing at the Commonwealth Games.
Speaking to 5 live's Lesley Amshall, Alexis said "It's about time it's in the Commonwealth Games - I would have thought it would have happened before an Olympics but I'm still hoping they'll have more weight divisions for the women,"
