- Ellie Scotney (11-0) faces WBA champion Mayelli Flores (13-1-1, 4 KOs) for the undisputed super bantamweight title at Olympia London on April 5 — live on Sky Sports
- Scotney already holds the WBC, IBF, and WBO belts — Flores holds the WBA title, the last piece of the undisputed puzzle
- At 26, a win would make Scotney the youngest UK boxer in the four-belt era to become undisputed world champion
- The fight co-headlines with Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper on Most Valuable Promotions' first UK event — an all-female card at Olympia
Ellie Scotney does not get enough attention. That is not an opinion — it is a fact that even her own promoters would acknowledge. While the headlines go to Katie Taylor, Caroline Dubois, and Claressa Shields, Scotney has quietly assembled one of the most impressive records in women's boxing without ever being given the platform her talent deserves.
On Sunday, that changes. An all-female card at Olympia, live on Sky Sports, with Scotney fighting for the undisputed super bantamweight championship as the co-main event. If she beats Flores, the world has to pay attention. There will be nowhere left to hide.
The Road to Undisputed
Scotney's journey to this point has been rapid and ruthless. She turned professional in 2020 and won the European title within two years. A move up to super bantamweight proved transformative — she won the IBF belt, then unified with the WBC and WBO in quick succession. At 11-0, she has not lost a fight and has rarely lost a round.
Her style is built on fundamentals. A sharp jab. Excellent movement. The ability to control range and dictate pace. She is not a knockout artist — only two stoppages in 11 fights — but she is a technician who makes opponents miss more often than they hit. Barry McGuigan, who knows a thing or two about super bantamweight greatness, has called her phenomenal. He is not wrong.
The Opponent — Mayelli Flores
Flores is 13-1-1 with 4 knockouts and holds the WBA title that Scotney needs to complete the set. The Mexican fighter is tough, durable, and has proven she belongs at world level. She will come to London with nothing to lose and everything to gain — a dangerous combination for any visiting champion.
Scotney will be expected to win. She is the better boxer, the more complete fighter, and the one with home advantage. But upsets happen in boxing, and Flores has the kind of stubbornness and chin that can make a long night for even the most technically gifted opponent. Scotney cannot afford to coast.
A Record Within Reach
If Scotney wins, she becomes the youngest UK boxer in the four-belt era to hold all four world titles simultaneously. That record alone would be remarkable. Doing it at super bantamweight — a division that has historically received very little coverage in British boxing — makes it even more significant.
Scotney has already targeted Amanda Serrano as her next opponent if she becomes undisputed. That fight — Scotney vs Serrano — would be the biggest fight in women's boxing outside of the lightweight division and would cement Scotney as a genuine crossover star. But first things first. Flores on Sunday. The belts. The record. Then the future.
The Bigger Picture
Sunday's card at Olympia represents something important. Two British women fighting for undisputed status on the same night. Dubois vs Harper for the lightweight belts. Scotney vs Flores for the super bantamweight belts. An all-female card on Sky Sports, promoted by MVP in their UK debut. This is what progress looks like in women's boxing — and Scotney is at the heart of it.
Olympia. April 5. Sky Sports. Ellie Scotney goes for undisputed. Give her the attention she deserves.
