Skye Nicolson puts her WBC featherweight title on the line on March 22, when she faces Tiara Brown in Sydney, Australia. The pair square off in the co-feature on the card topped by George Kambosos Jr. The venue is yet to be determined. The contest is scheduled for 10 rounds.
Undefeated Skye Nicolson (12-0, 1 KOs) steps through the ropes in front of her home country crowd for the first time since October 2022. Battling it out in South Brisbane, the 29-year-old southpaw defeated Krystina Jacobs by unanimous decision. In her previous fight last October, the native of Meadowbrook, Queensland scored a UD against Raven Chapman and made the second successful defense of her belt.
Earlier in 2024, Nicolson retained her belt 126-pound by unanimous decision against Dyana Vargas, after landing the vacant title also by UD against Sarah Mahfoud.
Unbeaten Tiara Brown (18-0, 11 KOs) makes her first attempt to secure one of four major straps. The challenger from Fort Myers, Florida is fresh off a win by unanimous decision against Calista Silgado in January. In 2024, the 36-year-old similarly defeated Gabriela Bouvier and stopped Angi Romero in the first round.
The main event is expected to feature Australia’s former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr (21-3, 10 KOs) up against a yet to be confirmed opponent, Daud Yordan (43-4, 31 KOs) of Indonesia. Australian heavyweight Teremoana Jnr (6-0, 6 KOs) and WBA bantamweight champion Cherneka Johnson (16-2, 6 KOs) from New Zealand are also set to make their ring appearances at the event.
