"I think a perfect finish is when they drop to the floor," Tiah-Mai Ayton tells The Ring.

"I think that's perfect. You know when the ref gets involved and stops it? I don't think that's as good. It's still good, but not as good.

"Yeah, I want to see him go, 'One, two……' Not the whole ref jumping in like this," the 19-year-old bantamweight says, waving her arms.

Ayton has only been a professional fighter since June but two spectacular stoppages have made her one of the most spoken about female fighters on the planet and led the legendary, Katie Taylor to quickly anoint her as 'the future of boxing'.

Ayton (2-0, 2 KOs) boxes for the third time on Friday night, facing Argentina's Laura Valdebenito (8-6-1, 2 KOs) in a six-round contest that will be screened by DAZN.

Some people are born to fight. From boxing to grappling and from Thai boxing to K1, Ayton has already had over 300 fights and avenged the only three defeats she ever suffered.

Ayton is being touted for such great things that the names of those girls who did manage to beat her will likely become answers to quiz questions.

Whatever the discipline, Ayton has always been focused on finding a finish. The anime fan has even developed her own range of signature moves.

"Thai boxing? I love the knees and throwing them to the floor. I used to love stuff like that and I like sweeps. I used to do loads of sweeps," she said.

How about Brazilian jiu-jitsu?

"I like the rear-naked choke and the armbar."

Judging by the evidence of her short, sharp professional boxing career, the straight right hand must be her weapon of choice when she ducks between the ropes.

"Yeah, and I do like a hook - backhand. I think that works every time as well."

Ayton modestly laughs her way through a conversation but it is her ferocity that has really caught the eye. She turned professional with a whole host of prestigious amateur titles and has fast, heavy hands but also has a clear ruthless, nasty streak.

That has been built into Ayton since she started kickboxing at six-years-old.

Whether she was in a ring, on a mat or in a cage, Ayton didn't just want to win. She wanted to win in a fashion that left absolutely no room for debate and also left a permanent mark on her opponents.

"Yeah, every single time I go into a fight, I don't think about doing the rounds, I want to stop them and when I don't stop them, I get all aggy with myself," she said.

"Me and my dad would make bets on what round I could stop people in. Even when I was younger, we'd be like, 'Oh, try and do it in this round' and I'd be like, "Yeah, alright."

"I didn't like the feeling that someone could say they’d had a close fight with me. I know people can go like, 'I can get a unanimous decision against them' but then they'll go around and tell everyone, 'Oh yeah, I had a close fight with Tiah'.

"This one girl did that and they did a write-up about it. I was like, 'what? It was unanimous, every judge said it was me [who won]', so I've got to go for the stoppages."

"You can always have an excuse but when you stop them, they can't say nothing."

For a time, Britain was the epicentre of female boxing and barely a fight card passed without a title fight of some description.

Over the past 18 months, a lot of the steam has left the British market and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) have taken a firm grip of the sport.

They have thrown their weight behind elite British fighters like unified and Ring Magazine junior featherweight champion Ellie Scotney and former undisputed junior welterweight titleholder Chantelle Cameron, committing to building their profiles in and outside the ring.

Matchroom have pared down their own stable of female fighters but clearly feel like they have struck gold with Ayton. She hasn't just been handed a bog standard deal and a role as a card filler, instead being positioned as one of the promotional company's future stars.

It is a lot of expectation for a teenager to carry but she hasn't tiptoed shyly into the spotlight.

"I've got a lot of pressure on me. I love pressure, think I'm better when I'm under pressure," she said.

"That was the whole plan really, and I'm very grateful that it's all working out and hopefully it continues that way. I needed to stand out and stop people. I got that first KO in my first fight and it got nearly three million views and everything.

"And then my second fight was still a good stoppage. It wasn't as good as the first one but it still stood out and hopefully this next fight, I can do the same and stand out again."

As devastating as Ayton has looked so far, it is almost inevitable that things will get tougher.

Her level of opposition will slowly improve, the fights will start going longer and, at the highest level, women’s title fights tend to be gruelling, nip-and-tuck distance fights.

Ayton isn't oblivious to the fact but the girl who refused to be beaten on school sports day and will do whatever it takes to win a board game insists that she is looking forward to meeting the person capable of making her second guess herself.

"I've never even really been hit and thought, 'Wow, that hurt,'" she laughed.

"I've had a few comments like, 'Oh, she takes some shots' and I do take them because they don't hurt me. It's a bad habit of mine. I need to get out of it but if it doesn't hurt, I just walk forward. I just don't care.

"I feel like one day when I get in the ring and fight someone and they're wanting it just as much as me and they're hungry, I feel like that's when you'll see the best version of me.

"Because right now, I'm fighting these people and never been in the ring with someone that's like me. I think one day I'm going to meet someone like me - that's when you'll see the best Tiah."
