Terri Harper made a name for herself in the world of professional boxing by dominating her opponents and winning the WBC super-featherweight world title against Eva Wahlström on February 8, 2020. After just 9 professional fights, Harper stepped into the ring to face Wahlström and emerged victorious after a 10-round unanimous decision. This win cemented her status as the new champion in the super-featherweight division.
But Harper's journey to the top of the boxing world did not happen overnight. She started her professional career in 2017 at the age of 21, fighting against Monika Antonik and winning via 4 round PTS. She then went on to win nine more consecutive fights, including five victories by stoppage.
Harper's first world title defense was against Katharina Thanderz in November 2019 at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield. She won by unanimous decision, dictating the pace of the fight and showcasing her technical abilities in the ring. This win allowed her to retain her WBC super-featherweight title.
In November 2020, Harper faced her toughest opponent to date in the form of Norway's Katharina Thanderz. Despite Thanderz's significant physical advantages, Harper showed her resilience and won the fight via unanimous decision after 10 grueling rounds. This victory demonstrated that Harper's skills and abilities can overcome bigger and stronger opponents.
Harper added another world title to her collection when she faced Scottish boxer Hannah Rankin for her super-welterweight title on September 24, 2022. In a dominant performance, Harper won the fight via a 10 round unanimous decision, securing the WBA title in the process. Her impressive display in this bout has further cemented her position as one of the top boxers in the UK today.
Despite her enviable record, Harper has not been invincible in the ring. She suffered a defeat in November 2021 against Alycia Baumgardner via fourth-round TKO. Baumgardner became the only boxer to beat Harper in her professional boxing career so far. This defeat has not diminished Harper's standing, and she remains a formidable opponent for any boxer.
Harper's next opponent is former welterweight champion Cecilia Brækhus. This fight is scheduled for May 20, 2023, and Harper will be looking to continue her impressive winning streak. With her technical abilities, strength, and resilience, Harper is sure to give Braekhus a tough fight.
In conclusion, Terri Harper has quickly established herself as one of the most formidable boxers in the UK today. With 13 wins, one loss, and one draw in her professional boxing career so far, she has demonstrated her skills, technical abilities, and resilience in the ring. Her impressive record and world titles in two different weight classes show that she has what it takes to be a great boxer, and her upcoming fights will be watched with great interest by fans and critics alike.
