Ellie Scotney is officially chasing history, and she’s doing it with a bold move. The 28-year-old Brit vacated her undisputed super-bantamweight champion status back in April 2025, and now she’s stepping up a whole division to fight WBC featherweight champ Tiara Brown in Arlington, Texas on November 8. This isn’t just another fight; it’s a direct shot at becoming a two-weight world champion, and Scotney is absolutely dialed in.
Scotney’s Perfect Record Meets a New Challenge
Let’s talk about the audacity here! Scotney, who’s got a flawless 12-0 record with every single win coming by decision, just walked away from being Britain’s youngest undisputed champion in the four-belt era. She earned that title with a unanimous decision victory over Mayelli Flores at the Olympia in April. That takes some serious guts to give up something so huge to chase something even bigger. And you know what? Scotney herself isn’t holding back. She said, “I can’t wait for the next chapter to begin at 126lb, where I truly believe the world will see the best of me. It’s time to make more history and become a two-weight world champion.” That’s the kind of fire we love to see, right? She’s not just talking; she’s making it happen against the 38-year-old American champ.
This Card Is Absolutely Stacked With World Title Fights
If you thought Scotney’s challenge was big, get ready because this November 8th card, MVPW-07, is absolutely loaded. Scotney’s bout against Tiara Brown is the co-main event, meaning there’s even more electricity in the air! The headliner sees Elif Nur Turhan making her third defense of the IBF lightweight belt against Alycia Baumgardner. And guess what? Baumgardner, who holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight titles with an impressive 18-1-1 record in 20 professional bouts, is also trying to become a two-division champion. This whole night is gonna be about making history! Plus, Somali-British boxer Ramla Ali, who already made history in 2022 with the first professional women’s bout in Saudi Arabia, takes on American Mikiah Kreps for the vacant WBO and IBF super-bantamweight titles. Ali’s 11-2 record means she’s no stranger to tough fights. And to round it all out, Australia’s Skye Nicolson defends her WBC super-bantamweight belt against Japan’s Miyo Yoshida.
