Only God brought me through.”Scotney is the fourth British boxer – male or female – to seal undisputed status in the four-belt era after Josh Taylor, Chantelle Cameron and Savannah Marshall.Earlier, Cameron became a two-weight world champion with a unanimous decision win over Michaela Kotaskova to claim the vacant WBO light-middleweight world title.But it was disappointment for Norwich’s Emma Dolan who suffered a third-round knockout defeat against IBF super-flyweight champion Irma Garcia.Dubois v Harper: Scotney fights for undisputed title after Cameron’s world title win
