Francesca Hennessy (6-0), one of the most promising young fighters in British boxing, will look to capture the WBC International bantamweight title on Saturday, November 29, when she faces former world champion Fabiana Bytyqi (22-2-2) at the Valliant Live Arena in Derby, United Kingdom.
Hennessy enters motivated not only by fighting at home but by the chance to establish herself as a serious contender within the division.
The British fighter has shown rapid improvement with each appearance, combining tempo, controlled aggression, and a tactical approach that has made her a standout prospect.
Bytyqi represents a major challenge: she brings the experience of having been a WBC straw weight champion, along with the technical solidity that has long defined her style. Accustomed to performing on big stages, the Czech fighter will aim to spoil the evening for the hometown favorite and prove she remains relevant at the highest level.
The fight carries clear implications: for Hennessy, it would be the first title of her professional career and an immediate rise in the rankings; for Bytyqi, a chance to relaunch herself in a higher division, using her ring IQ and experience to overcome a rising opponent.
A well-matched fight, with contrasting styles and a belt on the line that could reshape the bantamweight landscape in the United Kingdom and Europe.
