Thursday 14th November 2019




Terri 'Belter' Harper defended her world title aganst Viviane Obenauf last weekend at Manchester Arena in her first outing under the Matchroom Boxing banner.

Polypipe Building Products are proud to sponsor Terri in a joint sponsorship deal with Plumbase, and were there on the night to show our support.

 

Shortly before the event we launched a competition where one lucky tradesperson could win 2 VIP tickets to ringside seats at the event. The winner of the competition was Dennis Hollingworth of Hollingworth Heating and Plumbing Ltd. He chose to take with him Mark Smith, who is also a fellow tradesperson. Both were hosted on the night by Polypipe Area Sales Manager, Michael Lalor.

The scorecards from the match were 99-91, 99-92, 97-93 with a dominant perfomance from Terri. Obenauf proved resiliant but Terri stuck to her gameplan and marked her 23rd birthday in style, holding onto her IBO Super Featherweight title.

 

 

Whilst waiting on the result, the arena belted out a rendition of Happy Birthday as it was Terri's 23rd Birthday on the day.

 

After the match, promoter Eddie Hearn announced that Terri's next fight will be against Eva Whalstrom for the @WBCBoxing world title in February 2020.
