Eccles took up boxing aged 16 and joined the GB squad in 2018. She said it had been a “privilege” to chase her childhood dream.
“If you had told the younger me that I would spend eight years living away from home, training three times a day on a World Class Programme in pursuit of the Olympics, I would have been in awe,” she added.
She has one more goal to achieve before retiring and is fully focused on finishing on a high.
“For these final six months, I am heading home to my Welsh team to finish my career where it all began before turning my focus to giving back to the sport that has given me everything.”
Rob McCracken, GB Boxing’s performance director, said winning a medal in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow would be “a fitting end to a brilliant career”.
“Rosie has been a brilliant boxer for us who always gave her all and she is an absolute credit to herself, her family, GB Boxing and Welsh sport,” he added.
