The undefeated Barke, who trains out of the Steel City Gym in Sheffield, entered boxing via the sport of Lethwei, which is also known as Burmese Boxing. It is why the 30-year-old goes by the nickname of the ‘Burmese Boss’ in the pro ranks.

Previously a world champion in the sport of Taekwondo, Barke from Bedfordshire, made her professional debut in November 2021 in Maidstone with victory over Tereza Dvorakova and has subsequently recorded a further three wins over six rounds.
