So, she signed a contract with Eddie Hearn and made her professional debut on March 23, 2019. Her debut match was against Cristina Busuioc, which she won by points decision.
One month later, on April 20, 2019, she competed against Roz Mari Silyanova and won that match too. Following two straight pro wins, her confidence was into the sky. She continued to win her upcoming matches too defeating the likes of Valerija Sepetovska (Round 2 TKO), Jasmina Nad (Points Decision), and Buchra El Quaissi (Round 5 TKO).
However, the amazing 5 matches winning streak was broken when she faced Rachel Ball on August 14, 2020. She lost the match via points decision. Nonetheless, Courtenay backed herself up and got back on the winning ways when she defeated Dorota Norek on December 4, 2020.
On April 10, 2021, she was all set to take revenge for her loss as she was once again scheduled to face Rachel Ball. But, as Ball was recovering from COVID-19), the match got canceled. The cancellation became a fortune for Courtenay as she got the chance to capture the vacant WBA World Female Bantamweight Title.
To win the title, she has to defeat the ANBF Australasian Super Bantamweight champion, Ebanie Bridges. The match is scheduled to happen on March 10, 2021.
