Lauren talked about boxing, the difficulties she encountered especially when she had to balance school with her job as a taxi driver. The Olympics were a dream come true revealed: “It has been a dream of mine since I was eight years old.

Lauren grew up with her grandparents and sadly, her grandfather died last November. When the duke asked her how her grandmother supported her, especially now that she is in Tokyo, she revealed that her grandmother sends her encouraging messages, adding: “It will remind me how hard I have worked and for my dreams, what they mean to me. He always told me “to reach the moon, if I fall, I will land on the stars” and this is something I have left and I follow it “. Lauren then referred to her grandfather, saying, “I know he always looks down on me.”
