On 5 September 2018, it was revealed that Bytyqi would face the once defeated Denise Castle for the vacant WBC atomweight title. Castle entered the bout following a four-year long absence from the sport of boxing, with her sole loss coming against Momo Koseki in her first WBC title fight. The fight took place at the Sportcentrum Sluneta in Ústí nad Labem, on 22 September 2018. She won the fight by unanimous decision, with two judges awarding her a 100–90 scorecard, while the third judge awarded her a 99–91 scorecard.
