A World Champion's Rise To The Top

Deirdre Gogarty is a world champion boxer, but her story goes way back to her home country of Ireland. At the time, it was illegal for women to step in the ring.

Her journey to the ring started underground. She was forced to fight in the basement of pubs to pursue her passion. It's a passion she kept from her parents for fear of their disapproval.

"They knew I was going to the gym but they thought I had a boyfriend there. I just left it at that. I didn't want them to know I was boxing," Gogarty said.
