“I deserve fighter of the year!” After a breathtaking ten‑round showcase of relentless aggression, Ellie Scotney emerged victorious over Mayelli Flores on Easter Sunday, delivering a performance that will be remembered for years to come. The bout, a non‑stop barrage of punches and heart‑stopping moments, cemented Scotty’s place in boxing history as she secured a unanimous decision and unified all four major world titles in the super‑bantamweight division.

In doing so, she became the youngest undisputed champion from Britain in the modern four‑belt era. Scotney herself described the encounter with Flores as "ridiculous" – a fitting adjective for a fight where the tempo never waned.

"I think we threw a punch every two seconds," she told Sky Sports. "Everyone kept saying someone would run out of steam, but the action just kept flowing. It was a barnstormer. I've always dreamed of being part of a fight like that, and to cap it off with an undisputed crown makes it even more special.

Growing up watching those wild battles, to actually live one was just wicked." The fight required Scotney to seize the initiative in the second half. "In the sixth round she caught me with a flurry on the ropes, and something just clicked – I went straight at her," the Catford native recounted. She noted that Flores tends to start strong and finish strong, a pattern that made the middle rounds especially intense.

"She was throwing a lot of volume, but it was about who could land cleaner. For me, it was about getting my shots through. It was a great fight to be part of." Behind the scenes, the road to that night was anything but smooth. Six weeks before the showdown, Scotney suffered a torn calf muscle that forced her off the treadmill.

"You’re playing catch‑up," she admitted. Additional setbacks plagued her training camp: a nerve irritation in her arm, a series of minor injuries, and the grueling weight cut required to make super‑bantamweight.

"Little things went wrong in the gym as well. It was my biggest fight and everything hit at once.

A nerve in my arm was acting up, then the calf, then my quads blew up in the fifth round. I was standing opposite someone ready to fire every second… It was a long night," she recalled.

Despite these obstacles, Scotney refused to let the pain dictate the outcome. She fought from a standing position, absorbing the relentless onslaught while still delivering her own barrage. "The calf gave out again in the fifth round, then my quads exploded, so I was standing opposite someone who was ready to go at every second… A long night," she said. "To fight at that pace, with everything going wrong in the camp, was tough, but I prevailed on one of the greatest nights of my career." The aftermath brought a profound sense of peace.

"The feeling that overtook all the aches and pains was a calm I'd never experienced before. I feel like I'm floating," Scotney expressed, describing the emotional high that followed the physical exhaustion. Looking ahead, her ambitions remain unshaken.

"There’s so much for me to learn, so much to do, and I’ve only had twelve fights," she noted. The next logical step could be a move up in weight. "I’ve completed the collection at super‑bantamweight.

I’ve been waiting to make the jump for a long time, so I’ll sit down with the team and decide the next steps," she said. At featherweight, the division is stacked with champions: Amanda Serrano holds the WBO and WBA belts, Tiara Brown carries the WBC title, and Nina Meinke is the IBF champion. Scotney’s competitive spirit thrives on challenges, especially when they involve a champion. "I’m a person who always wants a challenge, and that always comes with a champion.

So I’ll sit down with the team and see what the next steps are," she affirmed. If the opportunity arises, Scotney would leap straight into another world‑title fight. "If I could, I’d go straight into another world title bout. I just want a challenge.

It lights something in me," she concluded, underscoring the fire that drives her forward in the sport. The fight itself will likely be remembered as one of the most ferocious showdowns of 2026. Few bouts have matched its relentless pace, the sheer volume of punches, and the drama of a champion overcoming injury to claim undisputed glory. Scotney’s triumph not only adds a new chapter to British boxing history but also sets the stage for future battles that could see her testing herself against the featherweight elite, further solidifying her reputation as a fearless, world‑class competitor.
