SAVANNAH MARSHALL has won her first professional bout as she beat Sydney LeBlanc in Las Vegas on the undercard for Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather.
The 26-year-old from Hartlepool won on a majority decision with the judges all scoring 40-36, 40-36, 40-36.

Unfortunately being the first fight of the night, the 20,000-capacity T-Mobile Arena was nearly empty, even though tickets cost upwards of £387.
But Marshall took care of business, a marathon six hours before the McGregor vs Mayweather bout.
The 26-year-old, nicknamed 'Silent Assassin' was surprisingly signed by Mayweather promotions, after deciding to turn pro following the Olympics last summer.
She won Commonweath gold for England in Glasgow in 2014 and was disappointed not to win Olympic gold in Rio 12 months ago.
And Marshall should be proud of her efforts tonight, with southpaw LeBlanc seven years her senior.
LeBlanc, who is known as 'Ginger the Ninja' lost her fourth bout in a row though.
Marshall nearly gave up boxing to become a PE teacher, but now Tyson Fury's gym buddy wants to tear through the pro ranks.
She said: "I felt brilliant. I'm really glad it was three-minute rounds because I prefer that over two-minute rounds.
"She was really tough like I knew she would be. I'm glad that I got out of there with a win against a top class opponent.
"I've been looking forward to this all week so I'm really excited about my performance. The build-up this week has been great.
"I knew it would be hard to stop her so I made sure to box her. I was able to execute my game plan.
"I'm happy with how I performed."
