A
four-time European and World Kickboxing
Champion, she entered the fight against Lauren
(16-2), in Stockholm, Sweden, with a
professional boxing record of 10-5 (9), and gave
a good account of herself before also losing her
third crack at world honors, by unanimous
decision.
But it
would not be long before Bajic Halasi was
finally also a World Champion as a boxer!
In her
very next outing, in March of 2013, she took on
Ivana Habazin (10-0) from Croatia, for the
vacant IBF World Welterweight title in Berlin,
and this time she would not be denied, as she
impressively defeated the favorite by clear
decision.

That
night would prove to be the highlight of her
boxing career, as she, for whatever reason,
never defended the IBF title. She continued to
compete at the highest level thought, and has
lost three additional attempts at world titles,
to Layla McCarter at Super Welterweight and
twice to Ema Kozin at Middleweight.
Her
record includes at regular who's-who of the best
in the world, so its quite deceiving that Bajic
Halasi´s record currently stands at 14-18 (9).
At 36 years of age, she is probably past her
best, but she never shied away from a challenge
and always gives it her best shot.
