Professional career edit
Lefebvre made her professional debut on 24 January 2015, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory against Bojana Libiszewska at the Salle Marie-José Pérec in Fourmies, France.[4]
After compiling a record of 3–0 (0 KOs), she defeated Taoussy L'Hadji via majority decision (MD) to capture the French female super-featherweight title on 22 April 2016 at the Salle Gayant in Douai, France.[5]
Two fights later she defeated Gabriella Mezei via unanimous decision (UD) on 4 November 2016 in Douai, capturing the vacant WBF International female super-bantamweight title. One judge scored the bout 98–92 while the other two scored it 97–93.[6]
In her next fight she challenged for her first world championship, facing Simone Da Silva Duarte for the vacant WBF female super-bantamweight title on 10 March 2017 at the Salle Gayant. After Lefebvre landed a flurry of punches in the ninth round–and with Duarte no longer defending herself–the referee called a halt to the contest, awarding Lefebvre a ninth-round technical knockout (TKO) victory.[7]
She made three successful defences of her title before facing Laura Griffa on 12 April 2019 at the Salle Gayant. With the vacant IBO female super-bantamweight title also on the line, Lefebvre emerged victorious via UD.[8]
Following a successful defence of her WBF title against Ana Maria Lozano in October 2019,[9] Lefebvre defeated Jasmina Nad via UD on 28 May 2021 at the Salle Gayant, capturing the vacant WBC Silver female super-bantamweight title. The judges' scorecards read 100–90, 99–91 and 98–92.[10]
Her next fight came against Paulette Valenzuela on 20 November at the Salle Gayant, with the vacant WBO female super-bantamweight title on the line. Lefebvre was knocked to the floor in the tenth round en route to a UD victory to capture her first major world championship. With the win she was promoted to number three in The Ring magazine's super-bantamweight rankings.[11][12]
On 13 April 2024, Lefebvre lost her WBO championship to England's Ellie Scotney suffering the first defeat of her professional career by unanimous decision in a fight that was also for her opponent's IBF title and the vacant Ring Magazine belt. [13]
