🏆 IBF, WBC, WBO, and Ring super-bantamweight titles

Londoner Ellie Scotney (10-0) has been making waves ever since turning professional and now has the opportunity to add Yamileth Mercado’s (24-3) WBC belt to her IBF, WBO and Ring super-bantamweight titles.

That would leave WBA queen Mayelli Flores Rosquero (13-1-1) as the only other champion in the division.

Scotney and Mercado were born on the exact same day in 1998 — March 16 — but Mercado is vastly more experienced. She has had 17 more fights and is taking part in her 12th title fight. Scotney won her first title in her seventh fight, against Cherneka Johnson.

Today’s fight is, of course, the third meeting between Irishwoman Taylor, the reigning unified champion, and Serrano.

Taylor has two wins over her Puerto Rican opponent but both were razor-close contests, which has led to a third installment of arguably the most seminal rivalry in women’s boxing.
