Fans in Disbelief After What Happened During Molly McCann's Boxing Debut

Fans have been left in disbelief after seeing what happened during Molly McCann's boxing debut.

The former MMA star, from Liverpool, announced earlier this year that she would be making the transition to boxing, having signed with the Matchroom stable.

She took on Ireland's Kate Radomska in a six-round flyweight contest on Saturday night, winning via sixth-round TKO.

During the second round, there was major controversy after McCann managed to pin her opponent in the corner and attempted a number of shots to the head and body.

Fans were left shocked when Radomska kicked out at the 35-year-old.

The referee, however, didn't see the incident and the match therefore continued, with Everton supporter McCann securing victory after one minute and 21 seconds in the sixth and final round of the contest.

Reacting to the clip, one fan wrote: "Don't know what was worse, the kick or the ref not seeing it."

A second said: "Kicking the MMA fighter is certainly a play?"

And a third joked: "The irony of her making the move from MMA to boxing, only for her opponent to get confused and throw a kick in the second round."

And a fourth added: "Ref didn't see it but wtf?!?!"

After the fight, which took place at Belfast's Windsor Park, McCann told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was very different so I was happy with it.

"I think I took a kick and a headbutt, and I gave out some knocks as well, so I'm happy. I didn't even get out of second gear there."

"You know when you have your driving test and you're a bit like 'ahhh', but you know how to drive, it was one of them."

McCann announced her retirement from MMA back in March after a surprise first round defeat to Alexia Thainara at UFC Fight Night 255.

She ended her career with a professional win/loss record of 14-8.
