Young Alexia was unlucky to lose against a tough opponent, but Mahoney won her contest.
It was a tough five rounds but she got the decision to make her parents and all her clubmates at the gym proud.
Mahoney has been training at HKS Thaiboxing for 11 years and teaching for five.
She did a few inter clubs when she started Thai boxing, then decided she did not want to fight but enjoyed the sport.
However, in February this year she decided to get back into the ring and her British belt proves it was the right move.

Rain delays India's bid to finish off England in second test at Edgbaston
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — The start of play on Day 5 of the second test between England and India was delayed Sunday because of rain. The covers were rolled out ahead of the scheduled start at 11 a.m. local time (1000 GMT) and overs are likely to be lost, which would hurt India more than England. England will be resuming on 72-3 and most likely looking to bat for a draw, with India having set a world-record target of 608. The home team needs 536 more runs to win. England leads the five-match series 1-0. ___ AP cricket:

International rowers gather for SkiffieWorlds championship

Events begin with an opening ceremony before the competition and an on-shore festival get under way. The event was last held in Stranraer six years ago [Saskia Coulson] The SkiffieWorlds attracted about 30,000 visitors when they were previously held in Stranraer in 2019 and are estimated to have generated up to £4m for the local economy. But is is hoped the 2025 edition will surpass those figures. The event is the world championship for the St Ayles class of coastal rowing boat and takes place every three years.

Each boat is typically built by the community that rows it. Wendi Cuffe, trustee of Stranraer Water Sports Association (SWSA), said: "SkiffieWorlds is a world championship rowing event, but it's about so much more than competition. "It's a celebration of community, connection, active participation and coastal heritage. "The shoreside festival programme reflects everything that makes this sport special, from the international friendships forged through shared love of the water to the wellbeing benefits that keep people coming back to rowing."

Stranraer water sports hub The youngest competitor is 14, while the oldest is thought to be 81. Rebecca Edser, head of EventScotland, said it was delighted to support the event which could encourage economic growth and bring physical, mental and social benefits. The competition showcases wider efforts to boost Stranraer's transformation into a major water sports destination. Work started earlier this year on a water sports hub in the town and it is scheduled to open next summer.
