“I want to thank God, MVP and my team for this amazing opportunity,” Flores said. “When I heard that the fight would be moved to England, I agreed without hesitation. We Mexicans are ready to fight anywhere, mentally and physically prepared for war. Ellie Scotney is a great and tough fighter, but I’m up for the challenge. If I win against Scotney, I will go down in the history books as the first undisputed female boxer in Mexican history. I’m ready to make history.”
“I dedicate this fight to my family and all the boxing fans watching in person at home.”
