Hannah Robinson: Just Getting Started

Hannah Robinson: Just Getting Started

Hannah Robinson experienced a more than frustrating start to her professional career in 2024. The former two-time National amateur champion turned over last year, but the current state of play with women’s boxing in the somewhat restricted UK market only offered up two outings for the former amateur star. But 2025 has proved far more rewarding for Robinson. With two fights already in the bag, Robinson will have her third fight of the calendar year next month against the tough and always reliable Beccy Ferguson.

“Beccy is a good opponent for me,” Robinson told FightPost. “She’s experienced, and I feel like it’s someone I can look good against and put on my best performance yet. Beccy comes to fight and is a southpaw, which ticks some more boxes in gaining experience.”

After being trained by Jamie Moore in the early stages of her professional career, Robinson made changes to her entire inner circle and moved her base much closer to her North-East home. Those subtle changes have made all the difference for Robinson. “I feel a lot happier training at home. I’m gaining confidence in each fight and showing more of what I can do each time I step in the ring.”

Robinson is coming off the best win of her career, a six-round points victory over the previously unbeaten Georgia Klein, and she hopes a win over Ferguson will be followed by a gradual step up in competition, before eventually moving into the title picture at some point within the next twelve months.

“After this fight with Beccy, I will step up to an 8-rounder before the end of the year, and the aim is to challenge for a title, maybe the British or the European, by the end of 2026 and hopefully get a promotional contract. I trust my team completely, and they will move me at a pace that challenges me but allows me to develop into the best fighter I can be.”

Hannah Robinson was a victim of the declining state of the female side of the sport in 2024 as interest waned in women’s boxing. Fights were hard to come by, even for reigning world champions. But the new year has proved far more fruitful for a prospect who will likely see her future at lightweight. The win over Klein was her most significant to date against an opponent who came with plenty of ambition herself. But it was the manner of that victory that impressed. A few little glimpses of her undoubted ability. A fighter who seems destined to be challenging for world titles at some point within the next two years.
