Scragg gets shot at the big one

Wolverhampton's first female professional boxer Lyndsey Scragg is to get a shot at the Womens WBC World Superfeatherweight Title in Canada on November 7.

The Fordhouses fighter will face champion Jelena Mrdjenovich on her own back yard in Edmonton, over 10 rounds, an experienced foe who has won 22 out of 26 bouts as a professional.

Scragg gets her big chance in just her eighth professional fight but has an unblemished record, with three knockouts to boot.

If she can maintain her perfect start in the pro ranks, Scragg could incredibly become Wolverhampton's first female World title holder.
