[1] Her first professional fight came on December 26, 1997, when she beat Heidi Tide by a decision in four, in Las Vegas.

On January 15, 1999, she suffered her first, and only, career loss, when outpointed by Fredia Gibbs over eight rounds in Las Vegas.

Fox, however, kept on the rise after this defeat: she had set her mind on one goal, and that was to become a world boxing champion.

After the loss to Gibbs came a rematch with Dutra, and Fox defeated the young hopeful, this time by a unanimous six round decision.

Fox became the IFBA's world Jr. Welterweight champion by defeating Mellinger by a ten round decision.
