Ellie Scotney out of MVPW-07 with injury as Ramla Ali fight becomes co-main event
Ellie Scotney's featherweight title fight with Tiara Brown has been postponed after she was injured, and Ramla Ali's bout with Mikiah Kreps for vacant WBO and IBF super-bantamweight titles moves up to co-main event.
Ellie Scotney has been forced out of her featherweight title fight with Tiara Brown through injury, which removes the co-main event from the MVPW-07 card on 8 November. Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) confirmed the change, Bad Left Hook reported.
Ramla Ali against Mikiah Kreps now becomes the co-main event, with the vacant WBO and IBF super-bantamweight titles on the line. Alycia Baumgardner against Elif Nur Turhan headlines the card.
The fight between Scotney and Brown has been postponed, not cancelled. MVP co-founders Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul said in a joint statement: “While we’re disappointed Ellie Scotney is unable to compete, we wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her and Tiara Brown back in the ring soon.” On Ali's elevation, they added: “Ramla Ali now has the biggest opportunity of her professional career against an undefeated Mikiah Kreps...” MVP has also said it is adding more fighters to the preliminary card.
