This weekend Sunniva Hofstad participates in the International GeeBee Tournament in Helsinki, Finland. Lots of good boxing nations are participating, and in Sunniva's class there are 6 boxers.
Time flies.. It feels like we just arrived Montreal, and now we are home again in Norway. Two weeks with great training, sparring and some shopping of course. Coach Ole went home earlier this week, but Sunniva and Madeleine stayed for some more days to finish the camp.
Last sunday we had our only day off during...
On the coldest and windiest day so far her in Montreal, Canada, we had our first rounds of free sparring today. Sunniva was doing four rounds with the World Champion Tammara Thiboult. It is this kind of sparring that we need to establish ourselves at the top of the world. Tammara has a long range, is southpaw and is...
We are two days into our two weeks long stay in Canada, and things are going very well. Today Sunniva had six rounds of task sparring with Tammara, and they worked very good together. Some well known tasks, and some well known tasks with a litle twist. Nice to see how things can be done differently. People are vey...
A couple of weeks ago we received a surprising, but nice, request from the Canadian Boxing Association. They wondered if we wanted to come to Canada to train with their World Champion Tammara Thibault. We didn't have to think twice before saying yes, and here we are!
After a very long trip with some problems along...
This weekend, the Nordic Championships are held in Malmø, Sweden. We were really looking forward to participate in the championships for the first time.

We only had one girl in the class, as we choosed to go...
A boxer's hands are our working tools, so we try to protect them as best as we can at all time. Now we are testing a great product from https://www.skulltec.no and so far it seems to satisfy our needs. With this gel pad from Skulltec and good 14oz sparring gloves from Rival we take care of Sunnivas hands....
After the loss on split decision against the silver medalist from the Olympics in Tokyo on Wednesday we have raised our gaze to the future. We are just two months into Sunnivas Elite career and we have a lot to look forward to later this season. Therefore we use this days to quality sparring with some of the best...
Sunniva was this close to beat the silver medalist from the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020. After a very strong third round, and even a standing count in the end of the round, we were sure that it was enough to win the fight. But as you can see one judge saw something different than the four others.. But that...
