Georgia O’Connor, a talented British boxer, has died at 25 after a heartbreaking battle with cancer.
A gold medalist at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games and a rising star, Georgia revealed in January that she had cancer and ulcerative colitis. She shared her frustration online, saying doctors had ignored her symptoms for 17 weeks, despite her constant pain and pleas for tests.
She claimed her concerns were dismissed and even gaslit by medical professionals, calling out the NHS for its failings. By the time she was diagnosed, the cancer had spread, and doctors also found dangerous blood clots in her lungs.
Georgia’s story has sparked wider conversations about medical neglect and the importance of being heard.
