Rosie Eccles: Welsh boxer undergoes surgery after latest injury setback

In her post Eccles thenwent on the give “the long answer”.

“Since being back in full training and making the decision to keep boxing toward one more Commonwealth and Olympic Games, in November I fractured my back in a freak accident by falling off a pull-up bar (yes, I know), which meant eight weeks of complete rest,” she added.

“Then on week seven back into training, just as I started prepping for my first tournament back, I tore the root of the meniscus in my knee.

“Surgery on Thursday went well but a long recovery ahead. Beyond grateful for my amazing team and unbelievable family support around me.

“I’m currently a very useless and pretty annoying human, but I’ll be back.”
