Ellie Scotney is an English professional boxer. As an amateur, she won the 2017 ABA Championships and competed at the 2018 World Championships.[1][2] Having turned professional in 2020, Scotney is the current IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine super-bantamweight World champion.[3]

Professional career[edit]

In February 2020, it was announced that Scotney had signed a long-term promotional contract with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Sport. Her debut was scheduled for 28 March at The O2 Arena, London, and was to be televised live on Sky Sports in the UK and streamed on DAZN in the US, as part of the undercard for Josh Kelly vs. David Avanesyan.[4] After the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[5] Scotney made her debut on 17 October against Bec Connolly. Scotney scored a knockdown in the third round en route to a six-round points decision (PTS) victory, with referee Michael Alexander scoring the bout 60–53.[6]

Her second fight was on the undercard of Lawrence Okolie vs. Krzysztof Głowacki at The SSE Arena in London. She defeated Mailys Gangloff PTS over six rounds, with referee Marcus McDonnell scoring the bout 59–55.[7]

World titles[edit]

On June 10, 2023 in London, England, Scotney defeated Cherneka Johnson by unanimous decision to become a new IBF super bantamweight champion.[8]

On September 30, 2023 in London, England, Scotney successfully defended IBF super bantamweight championship by unanimous decision against Laura Soledad Griffa.[9]

On April 13, 2024 in Manchester, England, Scotney secured an unanimous decision win against Ségolène Lefebvre to become unified super-bantamweight champion by retaining her IBF title and adding her French opponent's WBO championship and the vacant Ring Magazine belt to her collection. [10]
