[@lordbaronvonwalrusthethird3902]

Says a lot for her character and love of boxing to ditch a career at the top of women's football for a career of being punched in the head with no promise of success. They don't make many like that.

She drew me into womens boxing to be honest, never looked at womens boxing the same before katie. I know a lot of people think she lost against persoon, but her job is to fight and its the judges job to judge. Also she offered persoon a rematch, but persoon declined and is now trying for the olympics in tokyo this year. Her next fight with amanda serrano should be a blockbuster, good luck katie.

[@daisyb5646]

Katie's fights are always exciting. She has achieved so much in boxing, both as an ametur and professional, that in my view she deserves to now focus on big and legacy fights. Tempting as it maybe financially, she should go nowhere near Delfine Persoon. She somehow squeezed past her and was awarded the decision, but she went to hell and back just to survive ten rounds against a far fitter, stronger and busier fighter. Delfine is too strong for her to mix it with twice, she is too gruelling to fight, too awkward in her strenuous relentlessness and heavy handed punching, and is too tough and rugged for Katie. Helen Joseph is a very very strong woman who hits very hard and even she could not deter Delfine's all action pressing. Katie has been there and done it against Delfine, and severely risks irreparably damaging her legacy if she fights Delfine again. Amanda Serrano would be a far better bet.
