A injury suffered by the unified junior featherweight champion, Ellie Scotney, during a training session has led to the cancellation of her fight against WBA title holder, Mayelli Flores. This bout was scheduled for the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis undercard on November 14th.Instead, Most Valuable Promotions announced that the undisputed women’s bantamweight champion, Cherneka “Sugar Neekz” Johnson (18-2, 8 KOs), will defend her titles against Amanda Galle (12-0-1, 1 KOs) as the main event of the preliminary card.
Bidarian added: “Even with short notice, this will be a non-stop action-packed fight, with both fighters ready to make a statement and go to war on Friday, November 14th. We wish Ellie Scotney a speedy recovery and look forward to fully supporting her return soon, as she continues her mission towards the undisputed”. Scotney’s injury severity has not yet been determined, but Most Valuable Promotions hopes to reschedule the fight as soon as possible.”I’m excited to get back in the ring before the end of the year! It’s been a while since I’ve been this active, and I love it,” Johnson said. “I can’t wait to be part of the big Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis card, showcase the improvements we’ve been working on, and bring my belts home. Amanda Galle approached me after my fight against Shurretta Metcalf in New York, showed respect and said she wants what I have, I can’t blame her, I’d be chasing all the belts too.”Johnson arrives after her stoppage victory in the ninth round over Metcalf in July, becoming Australia’s first undisputed champion in the four-belt era. For her first title defense, she will face an undefeated Canadian hoping to cause an upset.“‘Sugar Neekz’ Johnson is ready to become Australia’s first undisputed defending champion in the four-belt era, while 118-pound Canadian top contender Amanda Galle has the opportunity to make a name for herself globally and become the first undisputed Canadian-born champion,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder and CEO of Most Valuable Promotions.

In her most recent fight, Galle obtained a unanimous decision over Alondra Hernandez in September.“I’ve invested my time! I’ve been in the shadow of these big names, working in silence, and I’ve earned a place at the table,” said Galle. “The best promoter in the world has included me on their list, and I want a chance against the best. I am the undisputed bantamweight champion. Canada knows it, the world is about to know it!”.
