Shauna is an experienced fighter who has represented Ireland at various competitions and has previously competed in the National Senior Elite Light Welterweight Championship at the National Stadium.
The Tipperary boxer was crowned National Elite Champion at 63kg previously and also won a medal for Ireland at the Feliks Stamm International Tournament recently.
