Ellie Scotney has pulled out of her November 8 featherweight world title fight against Tiara Brown due to an injury, Most Valuable Promotions confirmed Tuesday.

Ellie Scotney (12-0) has withdrawn from her scheduled featherweight world title challenge against WBC champion Tiara Brown (21-0, 11 KOs) due to an injury. The bout was originally slated as the co-main event for the MVPW07 card on Nov. 8 in Arlington, Texas. Scotney, who became the undisputed junior featherweight champion in April, was moving up to the 126-pound division for this contest. Most Valuable Promotions confirmed on Tuesday that the matchup will be rescheduled for a later date.

Ramla Ali (11-2, 3 KOs) and Mikiah Kreps (11-0, 3 KOs) will now serve as the new co-main event, competing for the vacant WBO and IBF junior featherweight titles. The card remains headlined by Alycia Baumgardner’s 10-round defense of her lightweight title against Elif Nur Turhan. Additionally, Skye Nicolson will defend her WBC junior featherweight title against Miyo Yoshida in a 10-round championship bout.

The main card also features a junior bantamweight unification fight between Irma Garcia (26-5-1, 6 KOs) and Nataly Delgado (21-7-2, 5 KOs). On the preliminary card, Brittany Sims and Shera Mae Patricio are scheduled for a 10-round bout to determine the vacant WBA 'regular' bantamweight world champion. Other confirmed matchups include an 8-round flyweight rematch between Nat Dove and Nayeli Rodriguez, and a 6-round featherweight contest featuring Fernando Garcia against Alexander Castellano.
