Career

After an amateur career which included winning the 2016 England Boxing National Amateur Championships elite female featherweight title[3] and representing England on the international stage, Chapman turned professional in 2021.[4] She made her pro-debut on 25 September that year with a fifth-round stoppage win over Polina Golubeva in Sheffield.[5]

February 2022 saw Chapman sign a promotional deal with International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren.[6] Her maiden fight under Warren's Queensbury Promotions banner was a first-round knockout of Gabriella Mezei at York Hall in London on 20 May 2022.[7]

In just her fourth professional contest, Chapman beat former world champion Jorgelina Guanini via unanimous decision to claim the vacant WBC female featherweight International title on the undercard of the Joe Joyce vs Joseph Parker clash at Manchester Arena on 24 September 2022.[8]

Having defended her title for a third time with a unanimous decision win over Lucie Sedlackova at York Hall in London on 1 December 2023,[9] Chapman was named the mandatory challenger for the WBC female featherweight World title held by Skye Nicolson.[10]
