This 10-Year-Old Boxer Will Knock Your Socks Off

“JessZilla” packs a mean punch.

Jesselyn Silva, 10, possesses two slight weapons — her hands. At just about 75 pounds and under 4’5” the New Jersey-native can hold her own in the ring. The Stay updated on the latest news with our carefully curated newsletters followed the young boxing champion as she trains to rise in the ranks. As a girl in a contact sport, we watch Silva struggle to find peers to compete against that are both talented and not afraid of her might.

Accompanied by her father, Jesselyn trains through a pounding headache with her goal of the 2024 Olympics in mind. She shares that she has a “dream calendar” in which she tracks her progress to earning three gold medals. Her story is a testament to girls being able to achieve anything they put their minds to.
