It was a second straight professional success for the 22-year-old who claimed a six round 58-56 decision over Switzerland-based Igel, 25.

“I knew she was tough,” said Tottenham Hotspur fan who appeared on Zuffa Boxing-promoted undercard of Cheavon Clarke’s shock seventh round stoppage victory over former WBO world cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith.

“She took those shots in round two so it was like ‘fair play to her, she ain’t going to out there’.

“It’s all learning for me. This was my second fight, people wouldn’t take a winning record after their first couple of fights but it’s a testament for me.”

Former Hertfordshire-based Hoddesdon Boxing Academy representative Allen, who is promoted by USA-based Zuffa Boxing, returned to the venue where she claimed a winning debut over Hungary’s Edina Kiss back in September.

“I’ll keep learning from this obviously and it’s been six weeks in between my last fight and this last fight,” Allen added. “I’m 22-years-old so there’s plenty to grow next year. We’ll step up a gear, get more sparring and hopefully start moving up the ranks.

“I just want to be busy around the globe and start picking up titles. Depending on Zuffa Boxing’s dates I probably next be out in February so I’ll just keep on the ball rolling and maybe having three or four fights.”
