Ellie Scotney is challenging for a world title in her seventh fight at Wembley, an iconic boxing venue. She will remember it for the rest of her life.
The 38th anniversary of my victory over Eusebio Pedroza just around the corner in Shephard’s Bush passed on Thursday. All though I’m not fighting I still get a tingle on weekends like this. More than 18.5 million watched me on TV on June 8, 1985. Nowadays you are lucky to get 150,000 tuning in. Walking into Wembley will bring it all back.
Scotney was incredibly disappointed to be dropped from the Katie Taylor/Chantelle Cameron bill in Dublin last month, but has put that behind her and is ready to take her chance. She is up against a more experienced opponent in Cherneka Johnson, who has lost just once in 16 fights, but has the tools to dethrone the IBF super bantamweight champion.
