Sensing her opponent wilting, Jonas landed another left hand to the head which dropped Gulyas heavily in the third, forcing the referee to end the contest.

"It was brilliant," she told Sky Sports. You're always learning in every bout you're in. I didn't perform as I'd like in Liverpool but tonight was better.
