Ellie Scotney Withdraws from Title Match
In a significant setback for British boxing, Ellie Scotney has withdrawn from her scheduled match against Mayelli Flores for the undisputed super-bantamweight title due to injury. The fight was slated to take place on November 14, as part of the undercard for Jake Paul’s highly publicized exhibition bout against Gervonta Davis.
Scotney’s Ambitions and Record
Scotney, who boasts an impressive professional record of 11 wins, is on a quest to become the youngest British boxer to secure the title of undisputed world champion in recent history. At 27 years old, Scotney aimed to join the ranks of champions like Josh Taylor, Savannah Marshall, and Chantelle Cameron, who were in their early 30s when they captured all four major belts.
The fight against Flores, the current WBA champion, is particularly significant, as Flores comes into the match with a solid track record of 13 wins out of 15 bouts, including a current streak of five consecutive victories.
Support from Most Valuable Promotions
Most Valuable Promotions’ co-founder, Nakisa Bidarian, expressed the organization’s support for Scotney in her recovery, stating, “We wish Ellie Scotney a speedy recovery and look forward to fully supporting her return soon as she continues her mission toward undisputed.”
Looking Ahead
Although a new date for this highly anticipated bout has yet to be announced, fans and boxing enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the rescheduling of this encounter, which promises to be an exciting showdown in the super-bantamweight division. Scotney previously showcased her talent under the Most Valuable Promotions banner in July, successfully claiming victory in her first world title fight on the same card that featured Katie Taylor’s famous win over Amanda Serrano. With her decorated history and undefeated status, Scotney remains a significant contender in women’s boxing as she prepares for her next challenge against the experienced Flores.
