After an action-packed weekend in women’s boxing, several elite fighters made strong claims to secure their positions or enter the pound-for-pound top 10. Notably, two new athletes have achieved this milestone.
Ellie Scotney, at 28 years old, made history as the youngest undisputed champion in U.K. boxing. She earned this title with a unanimous decision win over Mayelli Flores in London, successfully unifying all four major junior featherweight belts. This impressive victory places Scotney at No. 9 in the rankings.
The main event featured Caroline Dubois, who knocked down Terri Harper in Round 6 and went on to win by unanimous decision, consolidating two lightweight titles. Dubois’ combination of speed, strength, and accuracy highlighted her performance, earning her a debut ranking at No. 10.
In another noteworthy fight, Chantelle Cameron showcased her skills, decisively winning against Michaela Kotaskova to maintain her No. 5 spot. Her measured strategy in this tough bout paid off handsomely.
Meanwhile, on the previous day in Cardiff, unified welterweight champion Lauren Price overcame significant challenges, including facial cuts, to secure a unanimous decision against Stephanie Pineiro, successfully defending her WBA, WBC, and IBF titles.

Division: Undisputed heavyweight champion
Last Fight: W (UD10) Franchon Crews-Dezurn, Feb. 22

Shields continued her legendary career with a significant win in February, retaining her undisputed heavyweight championship.

Taylor executed a strategic victory against Amanda Serrano last July, advancing to 3-0 in their trilogy. As a two-division undisputed champion, she plans to have one more fight, ideally in her hometown of Dublin. Although her opponent is yet to be determined, she may aim to reclaim the WBC title from Sandy Ryan or face off against Chantelle Cameron in a rematch.
3. Gabriela Fundora
Record: 18-0, 10 KOs
Division: Undisputed flyweight champion
Last Fight: W (KO6) Viviana Ruiz Corredor, March 14
