Archie Sharp (born 14 April 1995) is an English professional boxer who has held the WBO European junior-lightweight title since 2018.

Professional career

Sharp made his professional debut on 17 July 2015, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Laszlo Fekete at the York Hall in London.[2]

After compiling a record of 13–0 (7 KOs) he faced Lyon Woodstock on 6 October 2018 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, with Woodstock's WBO European junior-lightweight title on the line. Sharp knocked Woodstock to the canvas in the opening round en route to a unanimous decision (UD) victory over ten rounds. All three judges scored the bout 96–93, awarding Sharp the WBO European title.[3] Following a second-round TKO win against Sergio Gonzalez in April 2019,[4] Sharp successfully defended his title on three occasions that year; a UD over Jordan McCorry in July;[5] a fourth-round TKO against Declan Geragthy in September;[6] and a UD over Artjom Ramlavs in December.[7]

Sharp's sole fight of 2020 was against his countryman Jeff Ofori on 15 August 2020.[8] He won the closely contested bout by a narrow unanimous decision, with referee and judge Marcus McDonnell scoring the fight 96-95 for Sharp.[9]

Sharp was booked to fight Diego Andrade for the vacant WBO Global junior-lightweight title on 10 July 2021.[10] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with two judges scoring the bout 97-93 in his favor, while the third judge scored it 99-93 for Sharp.[11] Sharp made his first WBO Global title defense against Alexis Boureima Kabore on 29 October 2021.[12] He won the fight by a dominant unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the fight 100-90 for him.[13]
