Preston boxer Lisa Whiteside has targeted a dust-up with domestic rival and European champion Ellie Scotney.

The 37-year-old ace stretched her unbeaten professional record to five after a points victory over Spaniard Eva Cantos on Friday night in Sheffield.

In an entertaining super-bantamweight fight, Whiteside showed her strength and power but also displayed a strong chin at times against her taller opponent.

She said: "In the seventh round, I thought I was going to get her out of there and I properly wobbled her.

"I now just want any of the top girls at super bantamweight, although I could quite easily do bantam.

"Ellie Scotney has just won the EBU title, I have the utmost respect for her and would love to share a ring with her."
