Back in October 2015, Destiny Small joined the Billings Elite Amateur Boxing club a month after her 16th birthday as the only female on the team, taking on male opponents to develop her stance, strategy and – according to her coach – “a wicked one-two” punch. In the years since, the club has taken on four more girls.
“She moves her head a lot and doesn’t get hit a lot,” said her coach Stewart Strever, a volunteer at the boxing club, which operates as a nonprofit. “She’s pretty aggressive. She comes at those girls when she fights them.”
