The Telford bout went the full three rounds, with neither fighter able to score a KO win.
But they were both left feeling the damage from the encounter.
Astrid’s nose was bloodied, while AJ’s face was marked from the three-round clash.
In the end it was Astrid who came out on top via majority decision.
Two of the cards had the fight 29-28, while the other was a 29-29 draw.
Victory for Astrid saw her crowned the first female Misfits champion.
It also potentially set up a fight with rival Elle Brooke, who was watching ringside.
Although settling on a weight will be the main sticking point on agreeing a showdown between the pair.
Speaking on the potential of a mega bout with Astrid, Elle said on DAZN: “I think I want bigger [and] badder things, no offence.
“Ronda Rousey or Astrid Wett?”
While Astrid said to Elle: “The weight class is difficult. If you want the belt, you’ll come down.
“If you win a belt at your weight, I’ll have to come up. So yeah, I’m happy with mine.”
Astrid also said on the fight: “It was tougher than I thought. It’s annoying about my nose it bled recently it’s so easy to cut open. Fair play to AJ, she brought it.
“I was very confident. I trained so hard for this and was so well conditioned. I’m very proud of myself.
“If AJ wants to prove she’s on my level – she was very close – I’m more than happy for a rematch. I’m looking forward not backwards.”
Astrid was quick to take to social media after her victory, tweeting: “I AM SO HAPPY.”
Misfits CEO KSI was entertained by what he saw and wrote on Twitter: “Congrats to Astrid Wett but WHAT A FIGHT MAN!!!”
Astrid’s win came ahead of the headline fight between Jay Swingler and NichLMAO in a huge bill which also featured the first ever TAG TEAM boxing match.
