She got into boxing at the age of 12 after watching Jack Osbourne box on the TV show ''Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie''. After winning a silver medal as an amateur at the 2012 European Junior Championships, Harper stepped away from the sport to concentrate on her education. She returned to amateur boxing after completing her GCSEs, only to become disillusioned with the sport after losing her first two bouts. While deciding whether or not to continue with boxing, Harper received a call from a boxing promoter with an offer to turn over to the professional side of the sport. She subsequently accepted the offer, and stated that she has "never looked back since".<ref name=BM1>{{cite web|last=Lupton|first=James|date=4 July 2019|title='There was always something missing': Terri Harper interview|url=https://www.boxingmonthly.com/stories/there-was-always-something-missing-terri-harper-interview/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820231846/https://www.boxingmonthly.com/stories/there-was-always-something-missing-terri-harper-interview|archive-date=20 August 2019|access-date=14 November 2019|website=Boxing Monthly}}</ref>
