Kenneally, a 31-year-old from Australia, had won her first two bouts against foes who were making their debuts in the paid ranks. She then won a split decision over the 2-3 Sequita Hemingway and a unanimous decision over Hemingway in their rematch. In July 2024, in Kenneally’s most recent outing, she stopped the 14-4-3 Angie Paola Rocha to capture the WBA’s vacant belt at 175lbs.
