Ellie Scotney withdraws from featherweight title fight with Tiara Brown
Ellie Scotney has withdrawn from her WBC featherweight title fight with Tiara Brown because of an injury.
The fight was scheduled for November 8 in Arlington, Texas, as part of a card headlined by Alycia Baumgardner versus Elif Nur Turhan.
The bout will be rescheduled, though no new date is given.
Scotney had been moving up to featherweight after becoming undisputed super-bantamweight champion in April.
Her withdrawal changes the card, and Ramla Ali will now face undefeated Mikiah Kreps for vacant WBO and IBF super-bantamweight titles in the co-main event.
The card also includes Irma Garcia against Nataly Delgado in a title unification fight.
Baumgardner's lightweight title fight remains the main event.
