in Dublin at the request of fellow English fighter Chantelle Cameron, who beat Taylor.<\/span><\/p>\n“It was an awful situation for both parties,” Scotney told BBC Sport.<\/span><\/p>\nCameron was coached by Scotney’s trainer, Shane McGuigan, until they had an acrimonious split in 2019. <\/span><\/p>\nSpeaking at Thursday’s news conference, Scotney added: “Even the bad publicity she [Cameron] got, I never wanted to be involved in something like that. <\/span><\/p>\n“I just want to brush it under the carpet. Onto bigger and better things.”<\/span><\/p>\nNeither Scotney – who fights for a world title in just her seventh professional fight – or Johnson showed any signs of nerves as the pair came face-to-face for the first time in London. <\/span><\/p>\nPromoter Eddie Hearn says “Ellie has an opportunity to change her life for good” and is tipping his fighter to become a future pound-for-pound star. <\/span><\/p>\n“She’s in her home city and will have a lot of support,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n“This is Ellie’s chance to move herself in with those bigger names. She can emerge from a prospect to a world champion.” <\/span><\/p>\nThe Catford-fighter’s contest against Australian Johnson forms part of a world-title triple header in London. Sunny Edwards defends his IBF flyweight title against Andres Campos and WBA bantamweight champion Nina Hughes faces fellow Briton Katie Hughes. <\/span><\/p>\nEdwards targets unifications<\/h3>\n
Headlining Saturday’s card is the undefeated Edwards, 27, who makes a fourth defence of his world title. <\/span><\/p>\nThe champion and Chilean Campos have exchanged insults in the build-up and clashed at Wednesday’s promotional face-to-face, with Edwards knocking his opponent’s cap off. <\/span><\/p>\nThere were more words traded at the news conference with Edwards on the charge and questioning Campos’ credentials. <\/span><\/p>\nCampos, 26, brought along half a dozen of his team and vowed to knock Edwards out. <\/span><\/p>\n“He was disrespectful to me and my team. I hope he meets me in the ring and we’ll have a tear-up,” he said. <\/span><\/p>\nThe head-to-head ended in a respectful fist bump as Team Campos repeatedly chanted “And the new…”<\/span><\/p>\nEdwards – who was won all 19 pro fights – will box under promoter Matchroom for the first time. <\/span><\/p>\nHe says he is targeting unification fights and Hearn suggested a bout against WBO champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez could take place later this year. <\/span><\/p>\n“I genuinely believe I will beat any of the other champions. It doesn’t matter when, where I go to fight them, all that is immaterial,” Edwards added. <\/span><\/p>\n
