Thats a shock BT Sports was trying to claim she was the female Lomachenko

Good luck to her tho, top amateur hope she enjoys her retirement

I didnt realise she was 37. Excellent amateur career and was looking decent as a pro.

Smart decision as she can make a better living trading off her image as a black lesbian for media work and endorsements etc.

As an amateur she achieved success (albeit within a VERY small talent pool) but as a pro - she looked horrible.

I agree, awful as a pro , probably didn't make much money either so makes sense to be a minor celebrity for as long as that will last .sensible decision with the few decent flyweights out there that would undoubtably beat her .

What was the point of that then? 5 ***ing fights.

[Articulateboxin]

All the best to any boxer with good intentions outside the ring.

Was never really impressed by her. Saw her beat many average fighters as an amateur, then look absolutely terrible as a pro. Makes Paulie Malignaggi look like Deontay Wilder.

Agreed. She waited way too long to go pro.
