Alexis Pritchard (born 24 September 1983) is a South-African born New Zealand boxer. On 5 August 2012 she became the first New Zealand woman to win an Olympic bout when she beat Tunisia's Rim Jouini in the Round of 16.[1][2][3]
She moved to New Zealand at the age of 14 and originally took up boxing in 2003 to get fit.[4]
Pritchard retired whilst still the New Zealand champion but after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics.[5] She was a batonbearer for the 2022 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay when the baton came to Auckland in March 2022.[6]
