Boxer Ellie Scotney pays tribute to Nan after her death aged 99 - whose X-Rated antics were cut by TV Chiefs

Boxing champion Ellie Scotney is set to defend her title this Saturday, and she will have a special guardian angel watching over her – her beloved nan. Unfortunately, Ellie's nan, Eileen, passed away at the end of August, but she will be remembered during the fight as Ellie pays tribute to the unwavering support she provided. Read on to find out more about their unique bond and Eileen's unforgettable x-rated antics that were unfortunately censored by TV producers.

From Victory to V-Sign

Ellie Scotney, the 25-year-old super-bantamweight champion, won the IBF belt in June. Her biggest goal was to show it to her nan, and when she did, Eileen couldn't help but flash her infamous V-sign – a gesture that represented her trademark humor and unique personality.

A Lifetime Goal Fulfilled

Sadly, Eileen passed away before Ellie's upcoming fight, but the dedicated boxer is determined to honor her life and memory. According to Ellie, Eileen will be watching the fight from heaven, with the best seat in the house.

A Rocky Road

In the past year, Eileen had faced health challenges, including a hip replacement. Doctors were uncertain about her condition, leading the family to prepare for the worst. However, just like a cat with nine lives, Eileen always bounced back. Ellie feels incredibly grateful that she was able to achieve her world title before her nan's passing.

Forever the Catford Queen

Eileen's feisty spirit and strong personality made her a beloved figure in Catford, the neighborhood where Ellie grew up. Her world title win brought local fame for both Ellie and her super-fan nan. However, when the news channel decided to blur Eileen's saucy hand sign from the broadcast, she was not pleased.

No Letter Needed

Although Eileen never received a letter from Buckingham Palace for reaching the milestone of turning 100, she didn't mind at all. According to Ellie, her nan would say, "Sod Prince Charles," as she preferred the Queen. The world title belt was enough to make her proud.

Forever Blurred

After Eileen's appearance on the news, her provocative hand gesture received attention from boxing enthusiasts online. However, TV producers decided to edit out the sign, leading to Eileen's frustration. She felt that her trademark gesture was a part of who she was and didn't want it to be hidden.

An Emotional Farewell

Ellie's team and close-knit gym will be supporting her during the upcoming fight. They will carry her belt into the ring and raise it high as she enters, in honor of both Ellie's achievements and Eileen's memory. Ellie even thought about incorporating her nan's iconic hand sign into her shorts, but she has opted for a more unified gesture from her team.

Ellie Scotney's fight on Saturday promises to be an emotional event, as she pays tribute to her beloved nan. Her unwavering support and memorable antics will forever be remembered by Ellie, her fans, and the boxing community.
