Ellie Scotney has been forced to withdraw from her WBC featherweight title fight with Tiara Brown after suffering an injury. The bout had been scheduled for November 8, and would have marked Scotney's first fight at featherweight following her thrilling victory over Mayelli Flores to win the undisputed super-bantamweight championship in April.
The main event at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, remains Alycia Baumgardner's clash with Elif Nur Turhan for the IBF lightweight world title, live on Sky Sports. Ramla Ali's fight with New York's undefeated Mikiah Kreps for the vacant WBO and IBF super-bantamweight world titles has moved up to become the chief support bout.
The card also features Mexico's Irma Garcia against Nataly Delgado in an IBF and WBA super-flyweight title unification. Additional bouts include Brittany Sims against Shera Mae Patricio for the vacant WBA regular title at 118lbs, a flyweight rematch between Nat Dove and Nayeli Rodriguez, plus Fernando Garcia-Alexander Castellano and Javier Guerrero-Aiden Anderson.
Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of MVP, said they were disappointed Scotney could not compete and wished her a speedy recovery, looking forward to seeing her and Tiara Brown back in the ring soon. They described Sunday, November 8 as loaded with high-stakes fights featuring some of the best talent in boxing.
