Elise began boxing at the age of 13 after surprising her father with an interest in the sport having before that taken up hobbies of horse riding and cheerleading as well as entering beauty pageants.
Initially not welcome in her local gym by male members of the gym, Birmingham-born Glynn didn’t let that deter her though, having her first bout after just six weeks.
Her youth career included wining gold at the European Junior Championships in 2017 as well as being crowned featherweight champion at the National Amateur Championships in 2022.
That performance earned her an assessment with GB Boxing and after impressing during that trial period, she was initially offered a place on the academy programme.
However, she was quickly fast-tracked to the podium squad after an impressive display at the Balkan tournament where she went head-to-head with Italy’s world silver medallist, Irma Testa.
She was then selected for both the women’s European Championships and European Games where once again she met Testa, narrowly losing on both occasions.
Despite the setbacks, Elise went on to win gold at the 2023 Cologne Boxing Cup as well as silver at the World Boxing Cup: GB Open in January 2024.
A month later she was selected for the first World Olympic qualifying event and after winning her first two bouts, was beaten at the quarter-final stage by Turkey’s Esra Yildiz.
Most recently, she won gold at the second edition of the World Boxing Cup, which was this time held in Colorado, America.
