Unbeaten in her first seven pro-fights, she defeated Nina Pavlovic via unanimous decision at Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno on 25 October 2024 to win the vacant European female lightweight title. The contest was held behind closed doors without a crowd due to severe flooding in the area around the venue. [5] [6]
