Tysie Gallagher (born 27 June 1998) is an English professional boxer who is the inaugural British female super-bantamweight champion as well as the Commonwealth title holder in the same weight division.

Biography

Gallagher started boxing aged 11.[3] As an amateur she won a junior national title and was involved in the Team England set up.[4]

She made her professional debut on 30 October 2021, securing a points victory over Spain's Vanesa Caballero in a six-round contest in Watford.[5] [6]

On 30 July 2022, Gallagher fought Nina Hughes for the vacant Commonwealth female super-bantamweight title losing the bout at Grays Civic Hall by majority decision. Two ringside judges scored the fight for Hughes 97-93 and 96-94 with the third seeing it as a 95-95 tie.[7] [8] [9]

However, the setback proved to be temporary as, after Hughes became WBA female super-bantamweight World champion and vacated the Commonwealth belt, Gallagher beat Lisa Whiteside by unanimous decision to claim the championship at the second attempt in a contest held at York Hall in London on 14 April 2023.[10] [11] [12] [13]

In her next outing, Gallagher challenged Ségolène Lefebvre for the WBO female super-bantamweight World title losing the bout on 24 November 2023 in Douai, France, by majority decision. One judge scored the fight 95-95 but was overruled by the other two who gave it for Lefebvre 97-93 and 96-94.[14] [15] [16]

Gallagher became the inaugural British female super-bantamweight champion and retained her Commonwealth title by defeating Stevi Levy via unanimous decision at York Hall in London on 24 May 2024.[17] [18] [19] [20]

She is scheduled to defend her titles against Tori-Ellis Willetts at Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield on 27 September 2024.[21]
