That willingness to take tough bouts sees the 21-year-old Finch's Pro Boxing fighter just outside the top 50 in the divisional rankings so early in her pro career.

Finch faced Italian favourite Martina Righi - who was previously unbeaten and ranked 44th in the world - in a six-round contest in Venice on September 10.

Round one saw a cautious start from both boxers, neither one of them allowing the other to settle in.

Round two saw Finch start to take control having to work on the inside of Righi using a variety of different combinations trying to spoil the Italians game plan.

The final round saw both girls giving everything they could to try to get the nod from the judges.
