‘Stinger Steph’ won’t pull her punches

By day, she’s a young shop assistant — by night she’s Stinger Steph, the terror of the boxing ring.

Twenty-year-old Stephanie O’Gorman from Macroom is one of just six women who, next week, enter a gruelling training programme for a boxing spectacular, The Battle of Bandon.

The event will take place in May before an audience of more than 1,000 in a 5,000sq ft marquee in the town.
