- Ellie Scotney (10-0) faces WBA super bantamweight champion Mayelli Flores at Olympia London on April 5, with the IBF, WBC, WBO and WBA titles all on the line for undisputed status
- At 24 years old, a victory would make Scotney the youngest British undisputed champion in the four-belt era and one of the most decorated fighters in women's boxing
- The bout sits on the undercard of Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper, making it a massive night for British women's boxing on Sky Sports
Right then, let's talk about Ellie Scotney. Because what this young woman is doing at 24 years old is absolutely brilliant. Tomorrow night at Olympia in London, Scotney has the chance to become the undisputed super bantamweight champion of the world. All four belts. IBF, WBC, WBO, and the WBA title she needs to rip from Mayelli Flores. If you know, you know — this is a genuinely historic moment for British boxing.
Think about the timeline here. Scotney won the IBF title back in June 2023 when she was barely out of her teens. Picked up the WBO and Ring Magazine belts in April 2024. Added the WBC in July 2025. And now, less than a year later, she is going for the full set. That is not just impressive — that is a proper champion collecting titles at a pace that most fighters can only dream about.
Why This Fight Matters
Undisputed is the gold standard in boxing. Always has been, always will be. In the four-belt era, becoming undisputed means you have beaten everyone they have put in front of you and there is nobody left to argue about. At super bantamweight, Scotney has already cleaned out three of the four sanctioning bodies. Flores holds the last piece of the puzzle.
And here is what makes it even bigger — Scotney would become the youngest British fighter to achieve undisputed status in the modern era. At 24. That is levels above what most fighters achieve in an entire career, let alone before they have hit 25. The talent, the ambition, the execution — Scotney has the lot.
Don't Overlook Flores
Now, I am not going to sit here and pretend Mayelli Flores is a walkover. She is the WBA champion for a reason. The Mexican comes to fight, she is durable, and she knows that beating Scotney on enemy soil would be the biggest result of her career. Flores has nothing to lose and everything to gain, which makes her dangerous.
But let's be honest — Scotney is levels above her. The speed, the footwork, the ring IQ. Scotney boxes like a fighter ten years older than she is. She does not make mistakes, she does not get drawn into wars she does not need to fight, and she picks her shots with a precision that most male fighters would envy. Flores will be game, but being game and being good enough are two very different things at this level.
A Massive Night for Women's Boxing
What makes tomorrow even more special is the card she is fighting on. Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper in a lightweight unification tops the bill, with Scotney's undisputed bid as the co-main event. Two genuine world championship fights featuring four British women on one card in London. That is what progress looks like for women's boxing in this country, and Sky Sports are going big on it.
Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions are behind this show — their UK promotional debut — and say what you like about Paul, but he is putting proper money and attention behind women's boxing. Undisputed does not need extra motivation, but the platform and the exposure this card is getting is brilliant for the sport.
My Prediction
Scotney wins this comfortably. She is too fast, too smart, and too good at this stage of her career to let Flores cause an upset. I am going with a wide points victory, maybe 99-91 on all three cards. Flores will survive because she is tough, but she will know she has been in with something special. After tomorrow night, Ellie Scotney will be the undisputed super bantamweight champion of the world — and the scary part is, she is only getting better.
