“Princess” Leah Reuben 👸🏻💗🎀

Leah “Princess Leah” Reuben doesn’t just fight, she overcomes. Born and raised in Cairns, Queensland, Leah’s journey to the ring is one of courage, redemption, and sheer willpower. From a turbulent past to standing tall as a professional boxer and youth worker, her story shows that discipline and determination can rewrite any destiny.

Leah first laced up the gloves as a means to change her life. What began as a way to stay out of trouble quickly became a calling. Boxing gave her focus, strength, and purpose, and she’s been paying it forward ever since. She has been mentoring young people and sharing her story to show that no mistake is final if you’re willing to fight for better.

Now fighting out of Fortitude Boxing in Brisbane, Leah has forged her name through heart, hard work, and resilience. With a professional record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, she’s proven she belongs among the best. Her victories include a stunning seventh-round TKO over Thailand’s Jittamat Phomta to claim the WBC Australasian Super Bantamweight Title, adding gold to a career already rich with purpose.

“Boxing helped me find who I really am again.” — Leah Reuben, ABC Indigenous

Known for her relentless pace and fearless approach, Leah brings pressure, power, and composure to every fight. She’s faced tough opponents like Mariah “Golden Girl” Turner twice, both times pushing the distance and proving her grit against elite competition. Whether winning or learning, Leah never backs down.

Beyond the ring, Leah’s commitment to community is just as strong. She’s a proud Indigenous woman and youth mentor, using her platform to inspire change and open doors for the next generation. Her story, featured in ABC’s The Good Fight, is a reminder that champions aren’t born, they’re built, round by round.

Leah’s spirit, both as a fighter and a person, embodies everything Fortitude stands for: toughness, transformation, and heart. Her journey is far from over and every fight is another step in proving what true strength looks like.
