Kirsty Hill (born 19 August 1991) is an English professional boxer. She has held the Commonwealth female super-featherweight title since September 2023.
After an amateur career fighting out of Cleethorpes Trinity Boxing Academy and which included winning the English female lightweight title in November 2019,[3] Hill made her professional debut on 5 March 2022, with a points victory over Vaida Masiokaite in a six-round contest held at Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire.[4]
Having amassed a record of four wins and one defeat, she took on Vicky Wilkinson for the vacant Commonwealth female super-featherweight title at The Hangar Events Venue in Wolverhampton on 15 September 2023, claiming the belt by unanimous decision.[5][6]
Hill made an unsuccessful bid to add the vacant WBC female super-featherweight International title to her résumé when she lost by unanimous decision to Turkey's Elif Nur Turhan in a contest held in Tetovo, Macedonia on 28 November 2023.[7]
She got back to winning ways in her next fight by retaining her Commonwealth title against former WBC female super-bantamweight champion Fatuma Zarika from Kenya at Winter Gardens in Blackpool on 11 May 2024, via split decision.[8][9]
