O’Connor’s cancer diagnosis came after an earlier battle with ulcerative colitis. Throughout her treatment, she often expressed gratitude to her husband Adriano, who quit his job to care for her full-time and even sought alternative treatments across Europe. Their bond became a source of strength and inspiration.
She turned professional in 2021, remaining undefeated in her first three fights. Her final bout was in October 2022, on the undercard of the high-profile Marshall vs. Shields match. England Boxing paid tribute, calling her a “gifted boxer and beloved member of the amateur boxing community.” Her courage, talent, and love story leave a lasting legacy beyond the ring.
