Cheyenne Hanson

Cheyenne Hanson is a German professional boxer competing in the featherweight division. Known by the nickname “Pepper,” Hanson is an orthodox fighter from Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany, standing 5 ft 4 in. Since turning professional in September 2018, she has become one of Germany’s most dangerous female punchers.

Hanson began her professional career in dominant fashion, quickly establishing herself as a knockout artist with early stoppage victories over opponents such as Milica Radosevic, Sopo Kintsurashvili, and Kristina Jeftenic. Her aggressive style and finishing instincts helped her build momentum rapidly on the European circuit, though early setbacks against Gabriella Mezei and unbeaten Thai prospect Phannarai Netisri showed she still had development ahead at higher levels.

From 2021 onward, Hanson’s career accelerated significantly as she began collecting regional titles and more notable wins. She captured the BDB International super featherweight title with a technical decision victory over Alina Zaitseva, then added the Universal Boxing Federation World featherweight title after stopping Ilka Adam in the opening round. Her punching power remained a defining weapon, with successive stoppage wins over Sabina Mishchenko, Angela Cannizzaro, and Diana Kulinova reinforcing her reputation as a pressure fighter with genuine finishing ability.

A major milestone came in November 2024, when Hanson outclassed Phannaluk Kongsang over ten rounds to claim the vacant WBF World bantamweight title, winning every round on all three judges’ scorecards. The victory represented her most significant championship success to date and demonstrated her ability to dominate beyond just relying on knockout power. She followed that performance with further stoppage victories over Soledad Macedo and unbeaten contender Flor Rodriguez, continuing her rise through the international rankings.
