Untouchable Scotney shines, but Marshall suffers defeat
Ellie Scotney shined for the British contingent at Madison Square Garden, but there was defeat for Savannah Marshall in New York. Four Britons were making their promotional debuts for Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions on the undercard of Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano 3. Advertisement There were point wins for Scotney, Ramla Ali and Chantelle Cameron as Scotney became the WBO, IBF and WBC super-bantamweight world champion in just her eleventh professional fight. England's Scotney, 27, fought like a champion with a point to prove as she added the WBC belt to her growing collection by beating Yamileth Mercado on points. On a night when there were 17 world titles across five fights, Catford's Scotney went home with three of them and is now just one belt away from becoming undisputed. "I have had a real test in the past few months as everyone knows. I lost my dear friend Georgia, so tonight was for her," Scotney said. Advertisement "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 shadow. Such 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 four. Scotney showed off her entire arsenal by the final bell, but couldn't find the telling blow that would have secured the stoppage. Advertisement Marshall suffers narrow defeat to Green Savannah Marshall's last fight was July 2023 [Getty Images] 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 ropes. 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 belt. Hartlepool's Marshall started well showing little ring rust, even smiling as she quickly seized control, walking down Green, who was deducted a point for holding. The 34-year-old clipped Green on several occasions but the fight turned in round five when the American landed a big left hand. Advertisement Marshall endured two draining rounds and was hurt several times under pressure from Green. Despite having the momentum, Green's variety let her down and Marshall was able to weather the storm and clear her head. The fight was finely balanced in the final four minutes, a testament to both fighters relying almost exclusively on winding up their big punches. Marshall 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 out. One judge saw it 96-93 for Marshall, while the other scorecards read 95-94 and 96-93 for Green. Advertisement It 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. Ali scraps by Furtado in controversial win Every judge scored the fight for Ramla Ali [Getty Images] Light-welterweight Cameron and super-bantamweight Ali also collected wins on the undercard. Cameron, 34, put herself in contention to fight the winner of Taylor v Serrano with a wide points win over Jessica Camara. The Northampton fighter retained her position as the number one contender to the WBC light-welterweight world title with her 21st career victory. But Ali, 35, was involved in a contentious decision win over Brazil's Lila Furtado. Advertisement The Briton had been out of the ring for 13 months and a game Furtado appeared to be cruising to a win. But Furtado left the ring in disgust when Ali got a clean sweep on the scorecards. "I thought I won," Ali said afterwards. "I thought the drop in the second round should have been scored as a knockdown. I knew from then, yeah it got really messy, but I knew I was edging it because of the knockdown. "Everyone has their opinions and not shying away from it, I do believe I won the fight."

Building a female empire with Jake Paul, Netflix & Taylor-Serrano
Unified super-bantamweight Ellie Scotney was out of contract with Matchroom, former undisputed super-middleweight champion Savannah Marshall had not fought for two years and Chantelle Cameron was wondering if a new promotional contract with Queensberry could actually deliver the Katie Taylor three of Britain's premier talents at a crossroads in their careers and Saudi Arabia taking big-time boxing to the desert, there appeared little room for the best of the best in the women's UK boxing scene was also squeezed, with many of the best all-British fights on stacked undercards in meant the women's code stagnated, bar a few standout events such as unified world champion Lauren Price's welterweight showdown with British rival Natasha Jonas last years of steady growth, Cameron says: "I feel like everyone else had given up on women's boxing."Mulling over their futures, all three women ran into the same man - Jake Scotney was the first to reach out with a message to the American YouTuber-turned-boxer on Instagram."I just thought, 'a shy kid gets no sweets and I was a fat kid'," says the 27-year-old on the 5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce podcast."Within three hours I had a phone call with Jake."Undisputed super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner was the first shock signing for the Jake Paul co-founded Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), before Ramla Ali and fellow super-bantamweight Scotney were also announced. MVP had unsuccessfully courted Cameron a year ago, but not this the following weeks, the firm headhunted several more stars, signing Marshall, Cameron, Holly Holm and world champions Cherneka Johnson and Dina the charge behind the scenes was Nakisa Bidarian, MVP's chief executive. But how did they do it? And what does the future hold for the British fighters who have joined them? 'The fights are there to be made again' Not long after signing, Scotney was sipping filtered water in a luxury vehicle on her way to meet the MVP team in person for the first time. She had thought she'd need to book a taxi at the day she was at a New York Knicks game sitting beside Irish icon Taylor, the next she was doing pads with Amanda Serrano at an open workout before joining her new stablemates at a glamorous news conference for Taylor v Serrano and exposure was a big part of convincing fighters to join MVP. An estimated 50m watched Taylor's light-welterweight title rematch with Serrano on Netflix last November, with the rivals reportedly earning more than £4m each."What I liked, which is rare from a promoter, is Nakisa is very transparent," reveals Scotney."He was like, 'Ellie this is the Netflix show, not all of them are like this'."For Bidarian, the pitch was simple - look what MVP did for Puerto Rican Serrano, who went from a couple of thousand dollars per fight to millions in one night."We're not fair-weather friends who show up because something is hot, we put muscle behind it," he says."They want people who want to be involved in big fights," adds Scotney. "Give you the platform and make the fights with the right amount of money."Northampton's Cameron feels women's boxing has been left behind in the past 12 months, at least in the UK."Fights weren't happening. Jake Paul's come along and signed up all the top girls and the fights are there to be made again," says the 34-year-old, who was previously signed to powerhouse promoters Matchroom and says MVP's ultimate vision is to bring the fastest growing sector of boxing under one promotional roof."What we're trying to do is bring together a collection of talent that's never been brought together before, male or female, to enable us to make the best fights possible on a consistent basis under one umbrella," he explains. Shields v Marshall 2 & Taylor v Cameron 3 - ambitious plans in pipeline Bidarian has helped guide Paul's own career incredibly 28-year-old's ascent has been carefully managed, no more so than his recent win over rapidly declining, but former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez matchmaking has been astute and it seems no venture or venue is too big for them. Serrano and Taylor continue to prove, however, their power is in their are a host of options for MVP's new signings. Some of them will be within their control, like Serrano v Baumgardner or Scotney v Johnson 2. Others will be a test of their and Cameron are both targeting revenge against old enemies too in the shape of Claressa Shields and Taylor - bouts that each woman has pursued without joy."It's no secret, I want Shields," admits Hartlepool's Marshall."Absolutely the winner of Savannah and Shadasia [Green] should fight Claressa next," adds Bidarian. "I know Claressa likes big events and I'm confident we can make that happen."He also admits Serrano is unlikely to stay at light-welterweight were she to beat Taylor and claim the titles the 39-year-old Irishwoman took from Cameron."If Taylor wins, we will look to work with her to make the trilogy with Cameron and try to make it happen at Croke Park," says is a challenge for MVP. Shields has continually dismissed a rematch with Marshall and is now at heavyweight. Taylor could even retire this year, with Cameron arguably the most physically demanding contest out there for MVP did brilliantly to draw Taylor back into the Serrano rivalry two years after their first encounter and delivered massively for her.A big question is where would these fights, headlined by British women, be staged?"The UK is unequivocally pound-for-pound the best boxing market in the world," says Bidarian."We have strategically signed some of the best talent from the UK, as a par to our growth strategy and we 100% plan on staging events in the UK over the next 12 months."
