Ellie Scotney vs. Mayelli Flores: A Championship Showdown
Ellie Scotney, a rising star in the boxing world, is set to face Mayelli Flores for the undisputed super-bantamweight world championship on November 14 in Miami. Currently holding three major titles—the IBF, WBO, and WBC—Scotney’s goal is to solidify her legacy by adding Flores’ WBA title to her collection. This matchup will take place as part of an exciting undercard for the exhibition bout between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, marking Scotney’s second appearance on a Netflix boxing event in a row.
Fighter Profiles
At 27 years old, Scotney boasts an undefeated professional record after eleven bouts, while her opponent, Flores, brings a competitive background with thirteen victories, one defeat, and one draw. The London native has been eager for this undisputed title fight since she became a unified champion in April 2024. Earlier this year, she joined the promotional banner of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions to further her career.
Undercard Highlights
In addition to Scotney’s clash with Flores, the undercard features another significant matchup: the co-main event sees Alycia Baumgardner defending her WBA, IBF, and WBO titles against Canada’s Leila Beaudoin. In a shift from tradition, this fight will consist of 12 three-minute rounds, contrary to the standard ten two-minute rounds for women. This change comes after Baumgardner forfeited her WBC title, as that governing body does not permit three-minute rounds for female fighters.
The event will also highlight another world title defense with Gary Antuanne Russell, a WBA ‘Super’ light-welterweight champion, squaring off against Japan’s Andy Hiraoka, along with Costa Rica’s Yokasta Valle challenging Yadira Bustillos for the WBC strawweight title. With four title fights on the undercard, spectators are in for a thrilling evening of boxing ahead of the main event featuring Paul and Davis.
