ABOUT CAITLIN

When Caitlin Parker was just 11 years old, she was encouraged by her father to start a combat sport. This was primarily due to him insisting that she wasn’t allowed to walk to school by herself until she attained a black belt. Initially starting off in Taekwondo, Caitlin quickly discovered boxing to be her true passion.

Caitlin has competed in the middleweight division at the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games. The West Australian won Commonwealth Games silver and bronze at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022 respectively. She made her Olympic debut at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Games in 2021 and bowed out in the round of 16.
