With Rupprecht boxing in a weight class attracting only a small number of boxers, arranging fights with competitors on par is difficult.

[9] She defeated the opponents of her second and third boxing match in the bouts' first rounds as well. [10] [11] Winning against Spanish Joana Pastrana in October 2016, Rupprecht obtained the vacant WBC silver miniumweight title. [12] In May 2017, she won the vacant IBO minimumweight inter-continental championship defeating Venezuelan Luisana Bolívar.

[14] After reigning champion Momo Koseki retired from boxing in January 2018, Costa Rican Yokasta Valle was named Rupprecht's opponent for the world championship. Tina Rupprecht won the bout taking place in Munich on 16 June 2018 by unanimous decision, becoming WBC world champion. [15]
