Ellie Scotney has been forced to withdraw from her WBC featherweight title fight with Tiara Brown.
Scotney had been due box Brown on November 8 but injury has ruled her out of the contest.
It was going to be Scotney’s first fight at featherweight after a thrilling battle to beat Mayelli Flores and win the undisputed super-bantamweight championship in April.
Alycia Baumgardner’s clash with Elif Nur Turhan for the latter’s IBF lightweight world title remains the main event at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, live on Sky Sports.
