Ellie Scotney became a unified junior featherweight champion with a unanimous decision victory over Segolene Lefebvre Saturday in Manchester, England. Scotney (9-0) entered the fight with the IBF title she previously won against Cherneka Johnson last June. Lefebvre (18-1, 1 KO) was making the fourth defense of the WBO belt she won against Paulette Cuesta in November 2021. After a back-and-forth fight, Scotney won by scorecards of 96-94, 99-91 and 97-93.
Scotney solidified her No. 2 spot in the division behind WBC champion Yamileth Mercado. Lefebvre falls one spot to No. 5
Also on the card, Rhiannon Dixon won the vacant WBO lightweight world title by defeating Karen Elizabeth Carabajal by unanimous decision (98-91, 96-93 and 97-92).
Dixon (10-0, 1 KO) suffered a cut on her forehead, but was able to drop Carabajal in Round 3. Carbajal (22-2, 3 KOs) also suffered a cut over her right eye. With the victory, Dixon makes her ranking's debut at No. 4.
Rankings will be updated every Tuesday. They'll be based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven't fought in 18 months and don't have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
