While she was considered a live underdog, Katelynn Phelan from Ireland was never the less a significant underdog when she traveled to Donauwoerth, Germany to take on undefeated Jessics Schadko (8-0) for the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Women’s World Welterweight title on October 17.
In only her fourth professional bout, and her first championship fight, Phelan, from the city of Kildare, more than rose to the occasion, as she dominated Schadko from the start, forcing the local girl to retire on her stool before the sixth round.
Only twenty-years old, and a bright future ahead of her, Phelan improved her professional record to 4-0 (1) and is the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Boxer of the Month for October 2020.
