Tysie Gallagher


Tysie Gallagher 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 career

Gallagher started boxing aged 11 when her mother took her to a class at a community centre. As an amateur she won a junior national title and was involved in the Team England set up, although she had less than 30 fights in the unpaid ranks.

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 at Woodside Leisure Centre in Watford.
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.
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.
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.
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.
She successfully defended her titles against Tori-Ellis Willetts at Park Community Arena in Sheffield on 27 September 2024, winning by unanimous decision.
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. He was later convicted and sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in prison. The bout 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.
Exactly a year since her previous fight, Gallagher defended her titles against the previously unbeaten Ellie Hellewell at Park Community Arena in Sheffield on 27 September 2025. She won via unanimous decision.

Personal life

Gallagher was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder when she was 11. She has a daughter.
