  • Kickboxing 5-3 · Professional record · Cageside Press's May 2020 prospect profile states she is '5-3 in kickboxing'. Her gym's own September 2018 post put it at 5-1 and specified it was PROFESSIONAL kickboxing ('No Kickboxing profissinal Tina possui um cartel de 5-1'), so the two datapoints are consistent with two further losses between late 2018 and 2020 rather than contradictory. No fight-by-fight kickboxing record was found anywhere.
  • Boxing 2-0 · Professional record · Cageside Press calls it '2-0 in boxing'; her own gym's post labels the same 2-0 line 'Beachboxing' (boxe de praia), which is the more precise description. Recorded here as boxing with that correction attached - see conflicts.
