# Raven Chapman

Raven Chapman (born 1 January 1994) is an English professional boxer. She has held the WBC female featherweight International title and also challenged for the WBC female featherweight World title.

## Career

After an amateur career which included winning the 2016 England Boxing National Amateur Championships elite female featherweight title and representing England on the international stage, Chapman turned professional in 2021. She made her pro-debut on 25 September that year with a fifth-round stoppage win over Polina Golubeva in Sheffield.
February 2022 saw Chapman sign a promotional deal with International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. 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.
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.
Chapman successfully defended her title three times in 2023, with unanimous decision wins over ex-world champion Linda Laura Lecca on 25 March, unbeaten Lila dos Santos Furtado on 18 August and Lucie Sedlackova on 1 December.
She retained her belt for a fourth time by defeating unbeaten Yohana Sarabia via unanimous decision on the undercard of the Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora contest at The O2 Arena in London on 27 July 2024, with the three ringside judges all scoring the fight 100-90.
Having been named mandatory challenger earlier in the year, Chapman fought WBC female featherweight World title holder Skye Nicolson at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 12 October 2024, in what was the first women's world title boxing fight held in Saudi Arabia, and the first women’s bout to feature on a Riyadh Season show. Nicolson won by unanimous decision, inflicting the first loss of Chapman's professional career.
Chapman faced Karriss Artingstall for the inaugural British female featherweight title at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 7 March 2025. She was knocked to the canvas in the second round and, although she recovered to finish the bout, lost via unanimous decision.
