Career

A former British, Commonwealth, European and World kickboxing champion, Timlin switched to boxing in 2017 under the guidance of former World amateur champion Frankie Gavin.[3] [4]

She represented England in the 57kg category at the 2017 AIBA Women's Youth World Boxing Championships in India losing in the preliminaries to Valeria Rodionova from Russia by unanimous decision.[5]

Aged just 19, Timlin turned professional in 2019 making her pro-debut on 11 May that year, with a points victory over Roz Mari Silyanova in Walsall.[6]

Having complied a record of four wins from four fights, Timlin signed a management deal with Dave Coldwell in May 2020.[7]

She battled to a split decision draw with Carly Skelly in a contest for the vacant Commonwealth female super-bantamweight title on the undercard of the Oleksandr Usyk vs Derek Chisora heavyweight clash at Wembley Arena on 31 October 2020.[8][9]

In her next outing, Timlin lost her unbeaten record when she unsuccessfully challenged Mary Romero for the European super-bantamweight title in Barcelona, Spain, on 11 September 2021. Timlin suffered a cut near her left eye in the opening round and, after taking heavy punishment throughout the contest, retired on her stool before the start of round nine.[10][11][12]

She returned to winning ways with a points win over Nicaraguan boxer Jamillette Janitza Vallejos in Bolton on 20 August 2022.[13]
