Professional career

Mahfoud made her professional debut on 11 February 2017, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Petra Podraska at the Frederiksberghallen in Copenhagen, Denmark. She had three more fights that year, securing unanimous decision (UD) wins over Ainara Mota in April; Jessica Sanchez in June; and Gabriella Mezei in October.

She scored two fourth-round TKO victories in 2018 against Nana Chakhvashvili in January and Vanesa Caballero in September, followed by a UD win over Stephanie Ducastel in November.

She won her first professional title on 18 January 2019 at the Nykøbing Falster Hallen in Nykøbing, Denmark, by defeating Bukiwe Nonina for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental female featherweight title. All three judges scored the bout 100–90, 100–91 and 98–92 in favour of Mafhoud. She had one more fight that year; a UD win over Enerolisa de Leon in October.

Her first fight of 2020 was for the IBF interim female feather title against defending champion Brenda Carabajal. The bout took place at the Frederiksberghallen in Copenhagen, with Mahfoud winning via UD with scores of 100–90, 98–92 and 97–93.

Mahfoud faced Skye Nicolson for the vacant WBC women's featherweight title on 6 April 2024 in Las Vegas, losing a clear, one-sided unanimous decision.
