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.
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]
Gallagher made her professional debut on 30 October 2021, securing a points victory over Spain's Vanesa Caballero in a six-round contest at Woodside Leisure Centre in Watford. [6] [7]
On 30 July 2022, Gallagher fought Nina Hughes for the vacant Commonwealth female super-bantamweight title, losing the bout at the Civic Hall in Grays, Essex, 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]
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]
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. [13] [14] [15]
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. [16] [17] [18]
She successfully defended her titles against Tori-Ellis Willetts at Park Community Arena in Sheffield on 27 September 2024, winning by unanimous decision. [19]
Gallagher was scheduled to return to the same venue to face Ebonie Jones on 7 February 2025, but the fight was postponed following the death of her partner's mother in an incident for which a man was charged with murder. [20] It was rescheduled to take place at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster on 23 May 2025, but was cancelled when Jones failed to make the required weight. [21] [22]
She is due to defend her titles against Ellie Hellewell at Park Community Arena in Sheffield on 27 September 2025. [23]
Gallagher was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when she was 11. [4] [24] She has a daughter. [3] [4]
