- Her global boxing ID is US-00-076087.
- Her fighting nickname is: "The Fury" It could be said that Fiorentino is a rising star in women's boxing.

- On October 4, 2002, she fought Trisha Hill at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, in Providence.
- Hill became the first fighter to last the scheduled distance with Fiorentino, but Fiorentino beat her by a four-round unanimous decision. Next was Brenda Drexel, a relatively experienced fighter of 24 previous fights, who also went on to lose by a four-round unanimous decision to Fiorentino, on May 2, 2003.
- This the bout was held at the Foxwood Casino in Connecticut. Two knockouts followed, one in three rounds over Liz Drew and the other, a second round victory over previously undefeated Talia Smith. Next came what, perhaps, has been Fiorentino's most important victory to date: on May 14, 2004, she met the former and future world champion "Downtown Leona Brown" in Providence, with Fiorentino earning a six-round unanimous decision win. With that win, Fiorentino got a chance to fight for the world title for the first time: In her first fight abroad, she battled Emiko Raika for the WIBA world Featherweight title on September 18 in Kyoto, Japan.
