Ellie Scotney has been forced to withdraw from her featherweight world title clash against Tiara Brown due to injury. Most Valuable Promotions confirmed the withdrawal on Tuesday. The bout was set to form the co-main event of MVPW07 in Arlington, Texas on Nov. 8, but will be rescheduled.

Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul said: “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.”

Ramla Ali and Mikiah Kreps will face off for the vacant WBO and IBF junior featherweight titles in a new co-main event on the MVPW07 card.

Alycia Baumgardner’s lightweight title fight against Elif Nur Turhan is the headliner of MVPW07. Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul said: “Ramla Ali now has the biggest opportunity of her professional career against an undefeated Mikiah Kreps…”

Scotney, with a record of 12-0, was stepping up from the 122-pound division after becoming the undisputed junior featherweight champion in April. Her scheduled opponent, Tiara Brown, is the WBC featherweight (126 lbs) champion with a record of 21-0 and 11 KOs.

Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul announced that MVP is adding Brittany Sims, newly signed Shera Mae Patricio, and Nat Dove to the preliminary card.

They added: “We’re also adding more MVP talent to the preliminary card, including Brittany Sims and newly signed Shera Mae Patricio competing for a world title, along with undefeated rising star Nat Dove returning for a highly anticipated rematch.”
