SUPPORTING CAST CONFIRMED FOR BLOCKBUSTER OCTOBER 26 CATTERALL VS. PROGRAIS SHOWDOWN

Scotney defends unified Super-Bantamweight World Titles against Motu, live worldwide on DAZN

Ellie Scotney will defend her IBF, WBO and IBO Super-Bantamweight World Titles against mandatory challenger Mea Motu on the undercard of Jack Catterall’s blockbuster Super-Lightweight showdown with Regis Progais at Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday October 26, shown live worldwide on DAZN.

Catford’s Scotney (9-0) captured the IBF World Title by dethroning Cherneka Johnson at OVO Arena Wembley back in June 2023 before unifying the 122 lbs division against France’s former WBO Champion Segolene Lefebvre in her last outing at Manchester Arena in April.

The 26-year-old now faces her undefeated IBF mandatory Motu (19-0, 7 KOs) – her second unbeaten opponent in a row – with the promise of further unification clashes against WBA champion Nazarena Romero and WBC ruler Yamileth Mercado should she get past the New Zealander.

Watford’s Reece Bellotti (19-5, 14 KOs) looks to continue his remarkable run of form when he defends his British and Commonwealth Super-Featherweight Titles for the second time against Manchester favourite Michael Gomez Jr (21-1, 6 KOs).

The 33-year-old’s brilliant resurgence began at the famous York Hall in April 2022 where he stopped Dean Dodge in seven rounds to pick up the Southern Area Title. Two years and four wins later ‘Bomber’ can take another step towards winning the prestigious British Title outright should he become just the second man to defeat Gomez Jr.

Hyde Super-Lightweight Campbell Hatton (14-1, 5 KOs), now training under Barry Smith at the Ben Davison Performance Centre in Harlow, Essex, jumps straight back into a rematch with Doncaster’s James Flint (14-2-2, 3 KOs), looking to avenge the first loss of his professional career.

‘Hurricane’ Hatton was soundly beaten by Flint when challenging for the Central Area 140 lbs title at the Utilita Arena Sheffield in March, but armed with a new training team, the 23-year-old Manchester City fanatic is aiming to get his career back on track by silencing his doubters.

Sunderland's rising Welterweight star Pat McCormack (5-0, 5 KOs) returns to the ring for his first fight since July 2023 to face Argentina's William Andres Herrera (16-3, 7 KOs) for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Title and there’s action on the card for Leeds Super-Welterweight Ishmael Davis (13-0, 6 KOs), Manchester Super-Welterweight talent William Crolla (5-0, 4 KOs), Liverpool Middleweight Ste Clarke (4-0, 1 KO), Liverpool Featherweight talent Joe McGrail (10-0, 5 KOs) and Heywood Bantamweight debutant Emily Whitworth.

"I've been desperate to get back in the ring since I unified the division in Manchester back in April," said Scotney. "That night was a dream come true for me and it seems like the city is becoming a second home.

"Right now all that matters is October 26 where I’m fully focused on defending what’s mine. I'm ready to prove I’m the number one in the Super-Bantamweight division."

Tickets for Catterall vs. Prograis priced £40, £60, £100, £200 and £350 (VIP) are available to purchase NOW via Stage Front and Co-op Live.
