Hannah Rapp, known in the ring as “Hanarchy,” moved from Indiana to the Bryan-College Station area in Texas about two years ago. Rapp relocated to Bryan-College Station after her boyfriend was hired by Texas A&M.
The name of her boyfriend has not been revealed.
Despite taking up boxing fewer than five years ago, she quickly established herself as one of the sport’s rising prospects.
She said, “We get a really big call for a world championship fight. Obviously, that’s no question. We’re taking it immediately. I don’t care who the opponent is. So few people get the opportunity to fight for a world championship.”
Rapp also has a degree in environmental engineering.
Hannah Rapp’s exact net worth has not been publicly disclosed. As a relatively new professional boxer, Rapp had not reached the multimillion-dollar earnings associated with established world champions.
Investigators allege that Charles Medina, 31, drove past two bicyclists before stopping his vehicle, reversing and striking one of them. Medina was arrested without incident and charged with manslaughter. He was booked into the Brazos County Detention Center.

However, boxing alone was not yet her primary source of income. She also maintained full-time employment at Texas A&M.
“I work full-time, so I use all my vacation time and sometimes unpaid leave to train and compete,” she told KBTX.
While her family has not issued a public statement as of Sunday, Most Valuable Promotions extended condolences to her loved ones.
According to the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded shortly before 10 am on Saturday, July 18, to a major crash involving a bicyclist in the 23000 block of FM 159.
First responders treated Rapp at the scene. She was then transported to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
