I lost my dear friend Georgia, so tonight was for her," Scotney said."She was 25 years old, she was a fighter and she lost her battle to cancer. Tonight, I made sure her name is remembered in Madison Square Garden."Mercado was outclassed over 10 rounds by the speed and movement of Scotney, spending most of the fight chasing the Englishwoman's was her dominance, Scotney's hands slowly dropped further and further through the rounds as she began to toy with the Mexican, who had to battle a bad cut from round showed off her entire arsenal by the final bell, but couldn't find the telling blow that would have secured the stoppage. Marshall suffers narrow defeat to Green Marshall had not fought in a boxing ring for two years, but still had hold of one of her world titles, the IBF, when she passed through the English fighter is a former undisputed champion at super-middleweight but, in her absence, Green had risen to world champion status with the WBO Marshall started well showing little ring rust, even smiling as she quickly seized control, walking down Green, who was deducted a point for 34-year-old clipped Green on several occasions but the fight turned in round five when the American landed a big left endured two draining rounds and was hurt several times under pressure from having the momentum, Green's variety let her down and Marshall was able to weather the storm and clear her fight was finely balanced in the final four minutes, a testament to both fighters relying almost exclusively on winding up their big and Green were exhausted when the final bell sounded and both women cut nervous figures in the centre of the ring as the scorecards were read judge saw it 96-93 for Marshall, while the other scorecards read 95-94 and 96-93 for is only Marshall's second defeat, the first being to Claressa Shields in 2022, but after such a close fight, she could be in the frame for an immediate rematch with Green.

Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 LIVE RESULTS: Rivals in main event RIGHT NOW as they settle beef in blockbuster trilogy
Cameron eyeing Taylor vs Serrano winner English boxer Chantelle Cameron will be looking to set up a meeting with the winner of tonight's main event should she beat the experienced Jessica Camara. Cameron has already achieved something that Serrano has not in defeating Taylor. The 34-year-old stunned the world of boxing when she beat the Bray Bomber by majority decision in May 2023. The pair had a rematch, which Taylor won, but a decisive trilogy bout could be in the making should they both have their arms raised tonight. Speaking about a potential trilogy fight with Taylor, Cameron said: 'I'm told I will fight the winner of Katie versus Amanda, because I'm the WBC interim champion. 'I don't say I'm confident of getting a third fight with Katie though because the trilogy fight with her should have happened a long time ago. I've fought her in Dublin twice and she told me after the second one in the ring that the trilogy fight will happen. 'I thought it was signed and sealed, I agreed the date and venue, and I was actually taking less money for it than the first two fights. But then I got told she wanted an easier fight next and was fighting her mandatory instead of me. 'She didn't want to fight me again and has she changed her mind? Probably not.'

The Wallaroos are taking on the Black Ferns in windy Wellington, with the aim of causing an upset and taking their first ever win against their neighbours across the ditch. It's a huge ask – the teams last met in Newcastle in May as part of the Pacific Four series, where the Ferns claimed a 38-12 win. The Wallaroos have been an improved side in recent times, pulling off a 27-19 win over the USA during that same series, and with the addition of sevens star Charlotte Caslick into the mix this year, they have shown plenty of spark. However the Black Ferns are an incredibly formidable team, not least because they feature Portia Woodman-Wickliffe – New Zealand's leading women's fifteen-a-side try scorer of all time. With a World Cup on the horizon, this is important preparation for both teams, and though the Black Ferns are heavily favoured, the Wallaroos will be throwing everything at this match to try to pull off an unlikely win. Kick off is at 4:30pm local time (2:30pm AEST), so let's get into it!
