Harper, the WBO lightweight champion, fights out of Doncaster. She won the WBC junior lighteight title in 2020. In 2022, Harper moved up four divisions to 154 pounds to win the WBA crown. In September 2024, she moved down to 135 and claimed the WBO lightweight world title. With that win, she became Britain's first three-division women's world champion. Harper made her first title defense at 135 pounds in May of last year.
Scotney is the youngest woman in British boxing history to fight for undisputed, and if she wins, she will become the youngest UK boxer, male or female, in the four-belt era to become undisputed world champion.
