Kildare Town's Kelsey Leonard beat England's Kira Carter in the Girdwood Community Hub in Belfast on Saturday to register her first win as a professional. The featherweight debutant finished Carter in the second round and completed an expected win in a confident first pro performance.
Kelsey will now head back UNIT 3 Health and Fitness to regroup and no doubt will target a quick turnaround after getting her debut in the books.
