Kaye Scott (born 2 June 1984) is an Australian professional boxer, who has held the unified WBC and WBA female middleweight titles since December 2025. As an amateur, Scott won multiple World Championship and Commonwealth Games medals across three weight divisions.
Amateur boxing career
After the ban was lifted on women's boxing in New South Wales, Scott took part in the first female bout in the state, an exhibition fight with Ramona Stephenson in October 2009.[2] She competed in the middleweight division at the 2014 Commonwealth Games[3] losing to Lauren Price of Wales in the quarter-finals. However, she fared better at the Women's World Championships in 2016 when she competed as a light-heavyweight and won a silver medal, losing to China's Yang Xiaoli in the final.[4] At the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in Australia, Scott won a bronze medal at welterweight.[5] She went one step further at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in England by taking a silver medal after being stopped in round two of the light-middleweight final by Wales' Rosie Eccles.[6] Scott claimed her second world championship silver medal at the 2023 edition in India where she lost the light-middleweight final to Russia's Anastasia Demurchian by unanimous decision.[7]
Professional boxing career
Scott made her professional boxing debut on 25 November 2023 with a unanimous decision win over Connie Chan to claim the vacant Australasian female middleweight title.[8]
In her next bout on 23 March 2024 she won a second title, this time grabbing the vacant Australian female middleweight crown thanks to a majority decision victory against Desley Robinson.[9][10]
Scott and Robinson met again on 13 December 2024, with the vacant IBF female middleweight title on the line. Robinson won by unanimous decision.[11][12]
Unified WBA and WBC middleweight champion
