In September 2009 she won the Witch Cup in Pécs / Hungary due to a lack of opponents and in November 2008 she crowned this successful year in Ningbo / China by winning the world championship. She defeated Inna Shevchenko (10: 0), Tiffany Hearn from the United States (7: 5) and Adriana Hosu (7: 2) each on points.

In 2009 it didn't start that often. But she finished first at the Ahmet Cömert tournament with victories over Inna Shevchenko, Raluca Chris, Romania and Nadezhda Torlopova. At the European Championships in Nikolajew , Ukraine , she won points over Inna Shevchenko (7: 2) and Sylwia Kusiak (11: 2), but lost against Nadezhda Torlopova by breaking off in the 3rd round and therefore had to be satisfied with the European runner-up title .

At the international championships in 2010, Şemsi Yaralı was not in good shape. She clearly lost on points (1: 8) at the EU championship in Keszthely / Hungary against Anna Slowik from Poland and suffered a disqualification defeat at the world championships in Bridgeport , Barbados , in the quarter-finals against Katerina Kuchtsel from Ukraine. At the 2011 European Championships in Rotterdam , things looked completely different, because she won the European Championship in the 81 kg class with points over Anna Slowik (16: 4), Katerina Schambir, Ukraine (19:10) and Irina Sinezkaja , from Russia Body weight.
