Savannah Marshall broke down Daniele Bastieri at The O2 with an impressive display on her Matchroom Boxing debut.
Marshall - an amateur world champion and former Sky Sports Scholar - totally dominated her Brazilian counterpart, scoring her third consecutive stoppage victory to improve to 7-0.
'The Silent Assassin' now wants to remain active and confirmed that she will be back out in Newcastle on October 19, live on Sky Sports.
"I was expecting her to come to me as a bull but she didn't, it took me a few rounds to get into it," Marshall said.
"I'm 7-0, I'll be back out in Newcastle on October 19 in a massive step up."
It was a patient start from the 28-year old before, in the second-round, Marshall started to get on top, using her reach to land straight shots.
A huge left hook landed in the third as Bastieri's face began to redden and bloody and the one-way assault continued the rounds after. Two heavy lefts signalled the end in the fifth, the Brazilian falling to the canvas before the referee called it off.
