Top Tier: Harli Whitwell Returns On December 6th
It’s been a long time coming, but the unbeaten prospect Harli Whitwell will finally make her return to the ring next month at the Brentwood Centre in Essex.
Whitwell (5-0) hasn’t been inside a boxing ring since an eight-round points victory over Karina Szmalenberg in April 2024. A knee injury which required surgery and extensive rehabilitation has kept Whitwell out of the ring since she extended her unbeaten start to her professional career.
After turning pro in 2022, Whitwell had impressed in her five straight victories and was viewed as one of the most exciting prospects on the female side of the sport.
It’s been a frustrating period for the 26-year-old, but the fight next month represents a new beginning for Whitwell. “I do plan on coming back better than I was before,” Whitwell told me earlier this year. “I want to make a bit of a statement. I want to stay active and get my name back out there.”
Whitwell will fight Victoria Lomax over six rounds in her comeback fight.
Shona Whitwell, Harli’s sister, also an unbeaten prospect, will be appearing on the Top Tier show alongside her younger sibling.
