Born 1990. Tony Harrison is an American boxer.

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.

Harrison won by unanimous decision with two judges scoring the bout 115–113, while the third scored it 116–112.

Harrison vs. Charlo II The rematch was a highly competitive bout, in which Charlo managed to regain the WBC light middleweight title. Charlo managed to drop Harrison in the second round, but Harrison managed to recover well. In the eleventh round, Charlo dropped Harrison twice and had him stuck on the ropes when the referee decided to end the fight.
