Career
Beating her compatriot Myriam Lamare on 2 December 2006 at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, she became the women's WBA super Lightweight Champion. On 29 June 2007, she successfully defended her title against Myriam Lamare.
On 2 December 2011 she beat Holly Holm by seventh-round KO in Albuquerque.[6] However, she lost her belts in a rematch against Holm in a unanimous decision on 15 June 2012 and failed to capture the WBA, WBC and WBO championship belts against Cecilia Brækhus on 22 September 2012.
Mathis went on to win the vacant WBF Super Welterweight title against Yahaira Hernandez on 1 June 2013 by 5th round TKO.
On 26 July 2014, she put her newly acquired WBF title on the line and attempted to gain the vacant WBO Super Welterweight title against Christina Hammer. This bout resulted in a controversial disqualification of Mathis which was later overruled to No Contest with many arguing that Mathis was robbed of a KO victory.[7]
