Lauryn Eagle is an Australian professional boxer and water skiing champion. She was on The Celebrity Apprentice Australia and is a former Miss Teen International 2004. Coming from a water skiing family, her father Peter won the Australian title eleven times and sister Sarah placed second at the 2007 World Championships. She first learnt to ski at the age of four and started racing when she was nine years old. In 2003, she placed second in the Junior Division, and at the 2005 World Championships she won the women’s division title in the F2 class. In 2006, she won the Australian Speed Championships (U/19) and the Australian Marathon Champs (U/19). She then reached third place in the world rankings at the 2007 World Championship in May in the Formula 1 Division.
After retiring from water skiing in 2008, Lauryn took up a career as a professional boxer in 2010. Lauryn fought the good fight as a boxer, determined to rise above any knockouts. Her bouts in the ring saw her win the World Boxing Foundation women’s super featherweight title in 2012, before bringing it closer to home and claiming the Australian female lightweight title by beating Nadine Brown in 2013.
