Tysie Gallagher
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. Early life and amateur boxing careerGallagher started boxing aged 11 when her mother took her to a class at a community centre.[3][4] As an amateur she won a junior national title and was involved in the Team England set up,[5] although she had less than 30 fights in the unpaid ranks.[3] Professional boxing careerGallagher made her professional debut on 30 October 2021, securing a points victory over Spain's Vanesa Caballero in a six-round contest in Watford.[6][7] 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.[8][9][10] 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.[11][12][13][14] 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.[15][16][17] 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.[18][19][20][21] She successfully defended her titles against Tori-Ellis Willetts at Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield on 27 September 2024, winning by unanimous decision.[22] Gallagher was scheduled to return to the same venue to face Ebonie Jones on 7 February 2025,[23] but the fight was postponed until 4 April 2025, following the death of her partner's mother in an incident for which a man was charged with murder.[24] Personal lifeGallagher was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when she was 11.[4][25] She has a daughter.[3][4] Professional boxing record
