Biography

Dolan took up boxing aged 9. [3] Before turning professional she boxed out of Lowestoft Amateur Boxing Club and, representing England, won the British women's under 54 kg youth championship in May 2016 with victory over Scotland's Vicky Glover in Cardiff. [4]

Dolan started her pro career with a bang by stopping Nicole Goldsmith-Ryan just 53 seconds into her debut fight in Norwich on 17 September 2021. [5]

Having amassed a record of four wins and no defeats, Dolan uprooted from her home in Norwich, Norfolk, and moved to Newark, Nottinghamshire, in autumn 2022 after signing a three-year contract to be trained and managed by Carl Greaves. [6]

In her first fight after the switch she became the inaugural Commonwealth female super-flyweight champion by beating Halima Vunjabei from Tanzania at Newark Showground on 25 March 2023. [7] [8]

Dolan made a successful first defence of her title on 6 October 2023, defeating Nicola Hopewell by unanimous decision at Park Community Arena in Sheffield. [9] [10]

She defended her title, and won for the inaugural British female super-flyweight championship, against Shannon Ryan at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on 22 June 2024, winning by split decision in a contest that saw her knock her opponent to the canvas during round two. One ringside judge scored the fight 95–94 for Ryan with the other two favouring Dolan 96–94 and 96–93 respectively. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

Dolan defended her British and Commonwealth titles against former European female super-flyweight champion Lauren Parker at York Hall in London on 4 April 2025. [17] She won via unanimous decision. [18]
