Historic battle for Ellie Scotney

According to The Sun: Ellie Scotney received the chance to participate in a landmark title fight on the undercard of the Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis match.

The YouTuber turned boxer, Paul, will meet lightweight champion Davis on November 14 in an exhibition match where the weight difference will be five stone.

This event, which will be streamed on Netflix, has already sparked considerable controversy due to the significant size difference between the fighters.

Meanwhile, Scotney's fight against Mayali Flores promises to be tense — all four titles in the super bantamweight category are at stake.

At just 27 years old, Scotney will become the youngest British boxer to fight for the title of undefeated world champion.

“I earned this title fight fairly,” Scotney emphasized.

“My goal has always been to become an undefeated champion, and now, with MVP, we are at the final and most important stage.”

“On November 14, I will make history as the next undefeated world champion from Britain.”

Scotney first became champion in 2023, winning the IBF title after defeating Cherneka Johnson.

In April of last year, she also claimed the WBO title by defeating Segolene Lefevre.

After signing a contract with Paul and MVP, Scotney won the WBC title, defeating Yamilet Mercado in July.

Flores, who stands only 4 feet 11 inches tall, holds the WBA title, which is missing from Scotney's collection.

“When I was offered the fight against Ellie Scotney, I accepted without hesitation,” said Mexican Flores.

“I am ready for a real battle. Ellie Scotney is an excellent and strong fighter, but I am preparing for this challenge.

“I realize how important this fight is — a victory over Scotney will secure my place in history as the first undefeated woman from Mexico, and I am ready to make that history.”

“I dedicate this match to my family and all boxing fans who will follow us on Netflix.”

The situation in the boxing world is becoming increasingly tense, especially considering changes in weight classes and new matchups between colored fighters. The fight between Scotney and Flores will not only add intrigue to global boxing but also highlight the growing role of women in this sport, as both boxers strive to win those coveted titles.
