Tony Harrison (born September 6, 1990) is an American professional boxer. He held the WBC light middleweight title from 2018 to 2019 and challenged once for the IBF light middleweight title in 2017. As of December 2019, Harrison is ranked as the world’s third best active light middleweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and sixth by The Ring.
Professional career[]
Harrison made his professional debut on July 2, 2011, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) over Uwe Tritschler at the Imtech-Arena in Hamburg, Germany.
After compiling a record of 24–1 with 20 knockouts (KO) – his only defeat coming against Willie Nelson via ninth-round TKO in June 2015 – Harrison faced Jarrett Hurd (19-0, 13 KOs) on February 25, 2017 at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, with the bout being televised on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on FOX. The fight was supposed to be an IBF title eliminator for the right to fight Jermall Charlo, but when Charlo vacated the title the fight was elevated to be for the vacant title. In the ninth round, Harrison was knocked down by a right hook from Hurd, which resulted in the referee waving off the fight.
On October 23, 2018 it was announced that Tony Harrison would face Jermell Charlo for the WBC light middleweight title on December 22 on PBC on Fox and Fox Deportes at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Harrison won by unanimous decision with two judges scoring the bout 115–113, while the third scored it 116–112.[1][2]
