Leonie Tite's father Jeff died two years ago. The Brixworth-born fighter rose to number six in British boxing rankings and was one of the top boxers in the country in the 1940s and 50s.
Miss Tite, who lives in Peterborough and works as a pet centr
e manager, said she decided to do the dive to mark the second anniversary of his death.
She said: "I used to be afraid of rollercoasters but it wasn't frightening at all. I really enjoyed it. I felt really calm about it. In the morning I was a little bit nervous but I would definitely do it again.
"I did a tandem dive so I didn't need to do any training, we all just had a briefing beforehand but I was strapped to an instructor so I didn't have to do anything."
The 32-year-old raised £548 for The Prostate Cancer Charity through her brave endeavour. She said: "I wanted to do something in his memory but I wanted it to be a challenge . . . something that would be worth the money.
"Originally I was thinking of swimming with sharks but I decided to skydive in the end instead. A while ago I got in touch with The Prostate Cancer Charity and they sent me a lot of fund-raising ideas.
"I asked for sponsorship and when it got to about £300 I thought I should do it really. I'm glad I did because it was brilliant."
