Ellie Scotney just made British boxing history – and Jake Paul is rewarding her with a brand new car.
The 28-year-old became the undisputed female super-bantamweight champion on Sunday night, defeating Mayelli Flores by unanimous decision at the Olympia in London.
Scotney already held the WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring belts. She added Flores’ WBA title to become the youngest undisputed British champion ever, male or female.
She joins Josh Taylor, Chantelle Cameron and Savannah Marshall as only the fourth British boxer to achieve the feat.
Before the fight, Scotney told Paul in a Sky Sports Boxing video that she didn’t even have a driving licence – getting to training by taking two trains, a tube and a bus. Paul promised he would personally buy her a car if she won.
After the fight, Paul delivered on his word. In a video message he said: “Ellie Scotney, absolutely incredible. MVP has a brand-new car coming your way. Congratulations. Undisputed.”
Scotney couldn’t hide her excitement, shouting: “I’ve got to get a licence real quick, Jake, but we’re going car shopping for sure. I appreciate you.”
