So what do we need to know about this super flyweight making her professional boxing debut against Linn Sandstrom [0-1] on the undercard of Tim Tszyu's battle with Dennis Hogan in Newcastle on Wednesday night?

She's a Muay Thai champion with ACT, NSW and East Coast titles to her name desperate to shore up her future inside a boxing ring. But outranking all of that?

She's a mum raising her kids while balancing boxing and work to make ends meet, bringing up 11-year-old William and four-year-old Kelly having also fostered her niece.

"They look up to me, my oldest son thinks I'm a bit of a superhero," Loiterton smiled.

"I've got to keep up the humility but I've also got to keep up the image, so I'll keep going and keep working.

"One has just started pre-school and one has just started high school, so we've got all the ages. They'll be back home cheering. They wanted to be here, but maybe next time.

"I enjoy my job, I love working in the fitness industry. My kids love what I do as well."

Loiterton is adamant there will be a next time, that her first foray into the sweet science will not be her last as she opens the show for what has the makings of an Australian classic between world ranked super welterweights Tszyu and Hogan at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre.

Because Loiterton is desperate to shine against a determined Sandstrom who is looking to bounce back from the defeat which opened her professional career in Townsville last year.

"Women's boxing is really growing at the moment so I'm just happy to be a part of it all and to be here," Sandstrom said.

"I've been working super hard this time around, not only with my boxing but also with my mindset, so you will see a different fighter in there, for sure."

Loiterton tipped the scales at 51 kilograms at midday on Tuesday. Sandstrom weighed in at 50.96 kilograms.

The spotlights shining down on the stage of Newcastle's Civic Theatre coupled with television cameras and a live broadcast made Loiterton feel a world away from home and a weigh-in at the Hellenic Club of Canberra.

Yet by the same token she feels comfortable with the stage she has landed on with trainers Peter Foster and Shane Tipa by her side, because Loiterton believes she is about to secure her future.

"It's definitely different to what we're used to. The lights are a little bit brighter here but it's pretty exciting and I'm thriving off it to be honest," Loiterton said.

"It was an opportunity we couldn't turn down, it was the right fight for us to take. Keeping it simple, keeping it basic, focusing on what we need to do."
