Bio
Aurora De Persio is an Italian bantamweight contender, 8-1 with three knockouts, who challenges WBC Silver champion Francesca Hennessy at the OVO Arena Wembley on May 30, 2026, on BOXXER's Betfred Fight Night.
De Persio's one loss is a close points decision that her camp still disputes. The Italian comes in awkward, busy and willing to make the fight ugly — exactly the wrong sort of opponent for a slick boxer-mover like Hennessy.
Make no mistake — she's no body shipped in to lose. She's a proper European-level operator who will test Hennessy's discipline for as long as she stays in there.
