Early life and amateur boxing career

Gallagher 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 career

Gallagher 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]

Personal life

Gallagher was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when she was 11. [4] [23] She has a daughter. [3] [4]
