Ellie Scotney says she is ready for "without a doubt" the biggest fight of her career - and to give her mum a birthday present at the same time.
"I am the youngest one of seven, and my mum brought us all up off our own back," Scotney told BBC Sport on Thursday, following the pre-fight news conference. The women, each holding their respective world title belts, stared one another down for nearly two minutes before Lefebvre turned away.IBF title holder Scotney faces her French opponent as the co-main bout at Manchester Arena, alongside Zelfa Barrett versus Joshua Gill, with Lefebvre's WBO belt also on the line.
"There has been a shift in mindset, that has played out in the gym. There have been days where I have found another lease of life, I've needed to, I feel like I've grown into myself. Scotney says she is ready to go the full 10 rounds again but insists she has the punching power in reserve to knock Lefebvre out if needed.
