Harper wins world title on three-division jump!

Terry Harper W10 Hannah Rankin... Great Britain's Terry Harper made a huge jump from lightweight to junior middleweight and won the WBA 154-pound title belt via unanimous decision vs. Hannah Rankin. Harper fought at 135 pounds about six months ago.  Harper dominated the action hurting the former champion near the left eye and opening a cut on Rankins eyebrow, caused by an accidental clash of heads. The wound bothered Rankin until the end.  Harper now boasts a record of 13-1-1 wins with 6 knockouts. Rankin (12-6) provided the following update after her loss: "For all those asking, my CT scan is clear and my eyes stitched up. Congratulations to Terri Harper on becoming a two-weight world champion. I’ll heal up and I’ll be back. Thank you to everyone for the support."
