Scotney Nears Undisputed Title, Still Needs Driver's License
31 Mar
Summary
- Ellie Scotney is close to becoming an undisputed champion but still needs her driver's license.
- Nina Meinke remains focused on a potential fight with Amanda Serrano.
- Meinke is the reigning IBF featherweight world champion, having won the title in September 2024.
Ellie Scotney is on the verge of becoming an undisputed world champion, though she humorously still needs to acquire her driver's license. Her upcoming undisputed super-bantamweight clash this Sunday against Mayelli Flores is a significant step.
Meanwhile, German fighter Nina Meinke, the current IBF featherweight world champion, remains focused on a high-profile fight against Amanda Serrano. This bout was previously scheduled for March but was postponed due to Serrano's eye injury.
Meinke secured her IBF title in September 2024 and successfully defended it in a rematch in May. She expressed her strong desire for the Serrano fight, stating it's a promise that has yet to be fulfilled.
While Serrano has been linked to retirement, Meinke hopes to finalize their encounter and pursue additional belts. She acknowledged Scotney's potential move up in weight, but emphasized Serrano remains her primary target.
Meinke also commented on the upcoming unification bout between Caroline Dubois and Terri Harper, picking Dubois as the stronger fighter but expressing admiration for Harper's attitude and approach to the sport.
