A right hook rocked Antonik as she staggered into the ropes and, with the Pole dazed, Jonas landed another punch before the referee stepped in to stop the contest after a straight left found its target.
Trainer Joe Gallagher told Sky Sports: “It was a great debut, a dream debut. She trained really well and finished off with a very sharp performance.”
