Career

[edit]

Robinson, who took up boxing to improve her fitness,[2] fought Lani Daniels for the vacant IBF female light heavyweight title at McKay Stadium, Whangārei, New Zealand, on 2 December 2023, but lost by majority decision.[3]

Just over a year later, on 13 December 2024, she made her second bid to become a world champion, taking on Kaye Scott for the vacant IBF female middleweight title at The Star Event Centre, Sydney, Australia. Despite fighting on a fractured foot sustained in training camp, Robinson emerged as the winner by unanimous decision.[4][5]
