Sexton's last fight, in which she was completely dominated and ultimately knocked out, is not mentioned. This is remiss, as she announced her retirement two weeks after this final defeat.

Request for help from editor

I have added details of Sexton's earlier achievements in music and mathematics to this post, so it now better represents her talents. Her ALCM, her maths degree, her MSc and her PhD should be added to the infobox but it's a custom info box so I can't edit it. Can you help? I'll add a couple of pictures soon.

Inconsistency[edit]

Hello,

I just wanted to point out that the sidebar lists more degrees in different locations to the main text. It is confusing. I don't know what the truth is but could someone fix it?

Thanks
