Mea Motu's reign as the IBO super-bantamweight world champion has ended, with England's Ellie Scotney leaving their bout in Nottingham as the unified world champion. Scotney proved to be too slick for her Kiwi counterpart with four belts on the line, using her movement and speed to bank rounds en route to a lopsided decision. While Motu had success at moments during the fight, Scotney was able to score more in the eyes of the judges – with all three judges scoring the bout 99-91, or nine rounds to one, in Scotney's favour. Newstalk ZB sport news director Clay Wilson says Motu will likely be disappointed with this outcome - but it's an honour for her to hold her own in this fight.

Set to Make New Zealand Boxing History in Nottingham in just two weeks, New Zealand's Mea Motu will step into the ring for a historic bout as she attempts to become the nation’s first-ever Unified Boxing World Champion. The fight, scheduled for January 25 in Nottingham, will take place on Eddie Hearn's Matchroom card. Motu, representing the West Auckland-based Peach Boxing gym, will contend for the IBF, WBO, and Ring Magazine Super Bantamweight titles against England's Ellie Scotney.Motu is nearing the conclusion of an intense 10-week training camp, sacrificing her Christmas and holiday season to prepare for this momentous fight. The camp included rigorous sparring sessions in Australia and Bali with world champion Cherneka "Sugar Neekz" Johnson, who previously faced Scotney, providing insight for the upcoming bout.The Peach Boxing team, led by coach Isaac Peach, is set to depart for the UK next week, allowing time to acclimatize ahead of the high-stakes showdown. "This is the ultimate goal, and we’re ready,” says Coach Peach. “Preparation has been good. We’ve been waiting for this for a long time, and we’ve been preparing for the last year. "The road to this fight has been a long one for Motu. After calling out Scotney following a dominant TKO victory at Auckland's ABA Stadium in March 2024, the bout was initially scheduled for October 26. However, Scotney withdrew due to injury, leaving Motu without a fight for most of the year. In a last-minute opportunity arranged by her Sydney-based promoter, No Limit Boxing, Motu faced Australian boxing queen Shannon "Shotgun" O’Connell on October 2. In a stunning performance, Motu achieved a TKO victory in the fourth round, proving her status as one of the best Super Bantamweights in the world. Now, with the chance to claim three world titles, Motu stands on the brink of history. If successful, she will achieve what Kiwi legends like David Tua, Joseph Parker, and Andrei Mikhailovich have only dreamed of: becoming New Zealand’s first Unified Boxing World Champion. Motu’s hunger for this moment is undeniable, and the Peach Boxing team is ready to seize the opportunity. Fans back home in New Zealand and around the world will be watching closely as she aims to cement her name in boxing history. The fight will be Live on DAZN on January 26th approximately 9:00 am (NZT) Join the Whānau on Instagram, Facebook & Tik Tok.

Meet Mea Motu. Hailing from the humble town of Pukepoto in Te Tai Tokerau, she's Aotearoa's most successful boxer, holding an undefeated 20-0 record. This is her story.
Kaitāia boxer Mea Motu used her skills to be crowned IBO super-bantamweight world champion - and she's facing her next challenge. On October 26, Motu is set to challenge England's Ellie Scotney for the IBF, WBO, and Ring Magazine titles in Manchester, England. She says preparing for a fight on this level comes with extra challenges. "We literally have to do this on our own and cover the costs from our own pocket - so that was a stressful thing.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Mea Motu. Mea is a boxer with a 15-0 professional record and has accumulated New Zealand titles in lightweight, super-lightweight, featherweight and super-featherweight. She's conquered NZ boxing and is now ready to take on the world. In this episode we talk about being the first woman to headline a Fight For LIfe fight night, juggling her five kids with her training, the power of Peach boxing and why an eight-year-old does most of her pad work, and where her drive and determination comes from. But her path to the top was anything but smooth. This episode also deals with themes of domestic violence. Mea shared some of the harrowing detail of how she literally fought for her life through an abusive relationship. The story of what she's been through, how she found the courage and strength to fight through it, and coming out the other side on the brink of world title, is incredibly powerful. It was a challenging and necessary conversation, with the aim to empower anyone stuck in a similar situation. The emotion of her journey overwhelmed me at the end of this one. Mea is such a bubbly, fun, special human and her message so strong. Thank you for coming on with us and being so vulnerable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
