The 28-year-old defeated Mayelli Flores by unanimous decision<\/a> at the Olympia in London to win the WBA super-bantamweight title, adding that strap to her WBC, IBF and WBO belts in the process.<\/p>\nSince making her debut back in 2020, Scotney has put together an unbeaten record of 12-0 and hasn\u2019t looked close to tasting defeat so far, and some fans have began to look ahead to wonder what could be next for the undisputed champion.<\/p>\n
Speaking in her post-fight press conference, Scotney showed no signs of resting on her laurels after confirming that she plans on being as active as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be active \u2026 If I could get my own way I\u2019d be in the gym next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Catford fighter was then asked whether a possible move to featherweight could be on the cards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho knows. I feel like I\u2019ve waited a long time to get this moment and at certain points I thought, am I going to get it? But MVP came in and they made sure I did. So, I\u2019m going to enjoy this moment, sit down with the team and decide what\u2019s next, so I\u2019ll take my time with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
One possible option for Scotney could be a clash against Skye Nicolson<\/a>, who became WBC interim super-bantamweight title with a win over Yuliahn Luna Avila in December, and returns to action later this month when she faces Mariah Turner in Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ellie Scotney created history on Sunday by becoming the youngest undisputed champion in the four-belt era.
