Stephy Lee-Cutting – Melbourne’s Undefeated Boxing Champion Shares Her Journey
Melbourne has produced its share of sporting greats, but few have risen as fast and fought as fiercely as Stephy Lee-Cutting. With a perfect 9-0 professional record and four championship belts to her name, she’s quickly become one of Australia’s most exciting female fighters.
Her journey to the top hasn’t been without its battles outside the ring. A career-ending workplace injury halted her football and kick-boxing dreams, but that same moment became the catalyst for a new chapter—boxing. Guided by coach Luke Bones, Stephy entered the professional circuit in March 2023 and never looked back.
In less than two years, she’s claimed titles across multiple weight classes, including:
-
WBF Australasian Lightweight title (December 2023)
-
WIBA Super Featherweight championship (March 2024)
-
Australian Featherweight title (October 2024)
-
WBC Australasian Featherweight title (April 2025)
Her fighting style blends precision, power, and patience. Whether it’s the explosive right hand that earned her early knockouts or the technical skill that outmanoeuvred seasoned champions, Stephy’s adaptability is what sets her apart.
